THE MHTHIEHEIIRING.
The Court of Inquiry Convenes at
the Armory.
The Target Case Opened.
The Court of Inquiry consisting of
Major W. F. Bidwell, Capt. George 0.
McLean and Leut.’ Theodore McDon-
ald met at 12 at the Armory to investi-
gate the charges made against Lieut.
Matheis by B. W. Maples for target
falsification.
Owing to the absence of J. Belden
Hurlbutt, his counsel, Lieut. Matheis
presented the following letter to the
Court:
To The Honorable Court of Inquiry in
the matter of charges against Ilenry
Jfatheis.
MAJOR W. F. BIDWELL,
President of the Court.
GENTLEMENz—I have been’employed
by Lieutenant Matheis to defend him
in the investigation of certain charges
preferred in some public printing, and
addressed to your President a letter 0
Saturday last as follows: '
MY DEAR SIR:-——I have been retained
by Mr. Matheis, I suppose you military
men would call him “lieutenant” in-
stead of “Mr.,”but as I am unusedlto
militar titles, or military law, I hope
you wi l excuse whatever I say or do,
that is in any way in conflict with mili-
tary rules or law.
I have not had the opportunity to
learn from Mr; Matheis the military et-
iquette required in addressing you, so
write as I am accustomed to write an
ordinary and legal business matter.
I see that the Court is to be convened
on the 15th, but it does not state at
what time, and as I am engaged in the
Superior Court until 5 o’clock in the
afternoon,,I wish that the hour of meet-
ing might be fixed at that time. It will
be a matter of great accommodation to
me, and I think to a large number of
witnesses, laboring men, whom Mr.
Matheis would like to present to the
Court. I do not know exactly what he
is charged with, whether it is simply
the charges made in the Norwalk Hour,
or charges made in any other paper.
If it is any other paper, I have no
knowledge of what the charge is, nor
do I know of any charge except the one
by Mr. Latson. I have had no time to
examine the question, but had a talk
with Mr. Matheis about the facts, and
am quite satisfied that he can establish
his entire innocence of the charge
against him in the Hour.
I would like to know, if it is consist-
ent with military rules, what other of-
fense is charged, if any. 'I asked Mr.
Matheis if he had been served with a
copy of the Charges and specifications,
and he said he had not. I supposed
that that was usual in any case. I bor-
rowed to read‘ the regulations of the
National Guard, and found in para-
graph 1842 “that the accusation of com-
plaint is then read,” which would im-
ply there was some specific allegation
against him, which I suppose he is en-
titled _to have served upon him. How-
ever, Mr. Matheis does not make any
claim in that respect, except to know
in a general way what he is charged
with, so as to be enabled to intrOduce
evidence relating to the charge.
I do not know whether you have any
authority in the premises to determine
when you meet, but a8sume as the or-
der is worded, that you have, for I see
that you are directed to meet on the
15th inst, or as soon thereafter as prac-
ticable, which must leave you to de-
termine the hour, unless some military
rule prescribes the hour of the meeting,
and the length of time you will con-
tinue in session.
Have the kindness to inform me if
you can accommodate me to meet at 5
o’clock, or a few minutes thereafter, on
the 15th, or if you desire, fix a later
time, when I hope my court engage-
ments will permit me to be present and
assist the court in arriving at afair con-
clusion by the presentation of all the
evidence, touching the charges made
against Mr. Matheis. He asks but a
full investigation with a fair opportuni-
ty to present his own evidence, as well
. as to sift the ”evidenCC'against him, and
this he knows and feels that the Court
presided over by you, he will have.
An early reply will greatly oblige,
J. BELDEN HURLBUTT.
Which I'assume he has not received
as I have no reply.
I would now ask in Mr. Matheis ’ behalf,
that the hearingbe adjournedt to some
future time, either onh‘MORday or Sat-
urday,_if possible, or some evemng, or
at 5:20 to-day. He haswitneSSes whom
he wants, who have not been summoned,
who know all the facts about the-mark-
ing, and if this court-desires the facts
simply, which I have no reason to
doubt "it does, it will want this evidence
to.
I think I can furnish such evidence as
will satisfy the court that Mr. Matheis
is not only not guilty, but is attacked
for ulterior purposes, not for the good
of the company or service, .but personal
advancement in military lines.
Mr. Matheis’ character being attacked
he ought to'have the fullest opportunity
for vindicatiOn. I, ain , informed that
Captain Bose, last night‘ at drill, re-
quested those who were at the shooting
last October to come to-day. He knows,
or ought to know, that many of them
were not at drilllast night, and that‘the
notice is too short for most'of thein' to
arrange with their employers to get
a way. . - -
I desire to show further what seems
to me to be a conspiracy and that these
charges “made in public print” were
refused by one paper when furnished
it by Mr. Latson and quasi indorsed by
an officer of’this company.
Respectfully yours,
. J. BELDEN HURLBUTT.
The Court then adjourned and are
expected to convene again in compli-
ance with the request of Mr. Hurlhutt.
it, The Court of Inquiry~ met to hear
the testimony of Inspector of Rifle
Practice Finn shortly after. our report
closed Wednesdayfi'l‘he court heard the
testimony behind closed doors, and re-
fused to admit press reporters, for the
reason as stated, that they did not de-
sire the testimony published before
they had made their report. But while
the press was shut out, other parties,
conveniently supposed to be disinter-
ested, were admitted, notwithstanding
the fact that one of these parties is re-
ported to be an aspirant for higher
military honors, and at the time of the
recent election of captain is accused of
having made strenuous efforts to defeat
a prominent candidate, who he sup-
posed was opposed to his advancement.
While the representatives of the press
were barred out the wide-awake DAILY
GAZETTE is able to present to the public
a full report of the testimony as taken.
Capt. Finn was the first witness, and
stated that he was present at the shoot-
ing of Co. F, but did not keep score.
He did not hear any orders from Lieut.
Matheis to mark up the scores of the
shooters. That while he had mislaid
the report sent in by Lieut. Matheis,
he had examined his score made on
that day and compared itwith those for
several years and found it was below.
the average of several of them.
After Capt. Finn’s testimony, the
Court adjourned until 5:20, to allow
Mr. Hurlbutt, who had been employed
by Lieut. Matheis, to arrive from
Bridgeport. When the court re-con-
vened Serg’t. Latson, who had first
made thecharges, was placed on the
stand and'testified that before going to
the shoot Lieut. Matheis had openly
told him, in hearing of several others,
that all who shot would receive a badge,
no matter what score they made. On
the day of the shoot Lieut. Matheis de-
tailed him to go to the 500—yard range,
and before going the Lieutenant called
him one side and told both him and Bile
that he would shoot first, Lieut. Aiken
second, and Corp. Hunt third, and for
him to be sure and mark the score of
the first three men up; that he Would
signal him with his handker-
chief when the scores were to be
marked up, and when he did not signal
the actual score made was to be count-
ed. They proceeded to the butts and
ran out the target. The first man who
shot scored 10, and we marked him up
to 20; the second man scored 13 and hit
the butt three times, but we marked
him 21; the third man scored 4, and we
gave him 19. Could not distinguish
who were shooting at the 500-yard
range, and did not know why - Matheis
wanted certain men marked up. He
identified the target as the one used on
that occasion and the lead pencil holes
in it were made by him, but when there
were not enough holes to score up the
first three men, Bile made them at ran-
dom. The reason he told of the fraud-
ulent marking was because his con-
science pricked him, and not because
of any previous difficulty with Matheis.
When cross-examined he denied going
to the DAILY GAZETTE office alone and
reporting his accusations against Math-
eis, then returning with Capt Bose and
making a further statement, previous
to giving his story to Mr. Maples of the
Hour.
Vincent Honnecker testified that,
while he was not at the shooting, he
heard Lieutenant Matheis say that he
would see that every man received a
badge who attended the shoot. Latson
had related to him his story of what
had taken place, but he had never men-
tioned it.
After our report closed Thursday,
Corporal' Badie testified that he at-
tended the shooting and was at the 200
yards butts, but could not say who
shot first. Latson told him that Ma-
theis had made 10, and he had scored
him 10 more, but said nothing about
signals.
Corporal Pollard testified that he at-
tended the shooting and saw Matheis
shoot first to sight rifles, how many he
could - not say. Corporal Hunt was
the first to shoot, Sergeant Pratt
next. Asked Latson about my score
and he said it was all right. Made 18
at 500 yards. Lieut. Aike‘n was keeping
score, and did not shoot until after I
did.
James Hall testified that he believed
he had qualified at the shoot, but had
not received a badge. Did not know
who kept score. He and Corp. Sterling
relieved Latson and Bile at the Butts.
When he got there he noticed one pen-
cil hole only in the target (and did not
think there were as many holes in the
target at that time as there were now.
Curtis B. Bile testified that he was at
the range the day of the shoot. Heard
something said in Armory about going
up and getting a badge, could not say
how many were present when the re-
mark was. made. Matheis said if we
would come up and shoot it would be
all right, he would see that 'we got
badges. Matheis told him to score up
if they did ~.not make large enough
scores. Also, told him that the first
three men to shoot would be Matheis,
Aiken and Hunt. and when he signaled
with his handkerchief to mark up the
score of the shooter. The first man
.made 10 ahd we scored him 20 or 21, the
second and third we also marked up.
Matheis made signals and we marked
up the shooters. I- punched the holes
in the target with a lead pencil given
me by Latson. Never told Mr. Wade,
of the Hour, that I did not hear Ma-
theis tell Latson about signals and mark-
ing up the scores. - ~‘ ‘- ’
John H. Wade, of the Hour, testified
that he wrote down Latson's statement
and went to see Bile who corroborated
it, but said that he did not hear Matheis
give Latson the orders about I'iroi._i4ltin,C_r,"1
up the scores when he made a signal
with his handkerchief. When the arti-
cle was set up a proof was read to Lat-
son, who said it was correct.
Corporal Scott testified that he was,
not at the range on the day of the shoot;
was at the Armory the Sunday before
the shoot; did not hear Matheis say
that whoever went over to the shoot
would receive a badge; knew some of
the members who were in the room on
the Sunday that Matheis is said to have .
made such a statement, and gave the
names of Sergt. Wilcoxson, Corp. Ster-
ling, Lieut. Aiken and Corp. -Waters.
Had had a conversation with Latson
about the election of officers, two or
three weeks after Capt. Stevens died,
and that Latson said he would not vote
for Matheis, and thought d—n little at
him anyway. Had heard Latson say in
the Armory that if he did not get a
badge he would show Matheis up wheth-
er he, Latson, got a badge or not. ‘
Goepler testified that he was at the
shoot, but did not know what score he
made, and was not surprised when he
did not get a' badge. Did not see or
hear Matheis arranging for signals with
Latson. ,
Lieut. Edward Aiken testified that
he was present on the day of the shoot-
ing and kept score with Serg’t Wilcox-
son. Matheis fired the first shot to
sight rifle, and Coup. Hunt fired the
first five shots for qualification. Serg’t
Pratt fired second and Corp. Sterling
third. He was about the tenth man to
shoot, and Latson was not tending tar-
get when he fired. Sterling and Hall
were at the butts. Never heard Ma-
theis state that all would receive a
badge if they went over to the range.
Did not see Matheis use his handker-
chief. Scored Latson as Captain Finn
called it out. When I fired Latson was
standing near me. The markers had
been changed before Matheis shot, and
neither Latson nor Bile was at the
butts to mark his shots. Had heard
Latson make the statement that he and
Matheis would be against him for pro-
motion, but knew of no animosity be-
tween them.
George B. Byington, of the DAILY
GAZETTE, was sworn, and the following
startling interrogatories propounded
him by Captain McLean before being
allowed to testifyz—“Q. Mr. Bying-
ton, where were you last evening? A.
I was in attendance at the Armory un-“
til a quarter of seven o’clock, when I
walked up town with private Badie.
Q. Did you return to the Armory
again last night? A. I did not. 1-69,.
\Vere you about the Armory at all after
you went up town? A. I was not.. Q.
It has\ been reported to me that-you
were concealed aboutthis Armory tak-
ing notes of‘ the testimony given by
witnesses. What do you know about
such reports? A. I never heard of
them before, and was not aware that
there were places of concealment about
the Armory where the proceedings of
the executive session could be ob-
tained.”
This satisfied the court, and the
DAILY GAZETTE reporter stated as fol-
lows: On the 28th day of February or
the second of March, Mr. Latson called
alone at the ofiiceof the DAILY GA-
ZETTE and requested that I correct a
list of marksmen published in the Hour
of February 28th, stating that he and
private Hall had qualified, but their
names were not among those published,
and if he did not get a badge he would
see that, none of the others did; that
there had been crooked work, and he
would show Lieutenant Matheis up.
After questioning Mr. Latson a few
minutes he departed, but soon re-ap-
peared with Captain Bose who said,
“Now Latson tell your story.” Thus
invited Latson told witness almost the
identical story as published'in the Hour
of March 7th. After he had finished
Captain Bose said to witness, “There is
news for you, if you want it !” After
they had departed witness thought that
as he had scored on several occasions
for Captain Betts, the former Captain
of Co. F, when Matheis had made the
best score, and had shot, against
him in a rifle match, as well as
in the team with him at Mer-f
iden, it was strange that he, Ma-
theis, could not make but 10 points at
the 500-yard range, so concluded to see
Matheis and present the facts to him
and get his side of the story before pub-
lishing such serious charges. Witness
called on Matheis and stated the whole
story as related by Latson, and asked
him what reply he desired to make.
Matheis stated that the whole state-
ment of Latson’s was a lie, and that
there was not a word of truth in it,
consequently the DAILY GAZETTE drop-
ped the matter, and never heard any-
thing more about it until it appeared
in the Hour a week later.
After witness had testified as above
he stated to the Court, that as the
Court had mentioned the fact of his
getting the testimony he would like to
say that during his attendance at the '
Armory Captain Bose had,by a remark,
as witness thought, endeavored to con-
vey the impression that the DAILY GA-
ZETTE was receiving its information
from Lieutenant Matheis, witness de-
sired to say in justice to Matheis, that
not one word of the testimony published
in the, DAILY GAZETTE had been re-
ceived either directly or indirectly from
Lieut. Matheis.
Sergeant A. J. Wilcoxson testified
that he scored on the day of the shoot
and that Matheis did not shoot first;
’that Aiken did not shoot second; that
Hunt did not ‘shoot third. He and
' Bile were at the shooting point.
Aiken scored on that day and when M-a
'theis and Aiken shOt Corp. Sterling
was at the butts and Serg’t Latson and
Lat-
son did not mark the target when Ma-
thies and Aiken shot." Corporal Hunt
fired first, Sergeant ’3Pr._att second and
Corporal Sterling third. A week be-
fore the published charges Latson said
to witness that his badge had not been
accounted for and if he did not receive
it he would make it hot for some one.
The‘testimony as .g-far as presented
Shows beyond a shadow of a doubt that
Matheis, Aikenand Hunt did not shoot
and Rile were not at the butts when
Matheis and Aiken shot, as testified by
them.
The Court adjourned until Tuesday,
April 21, and the GAZETTE, to-morrow,~
will contain the balance of the testimo-
ny taken up ‘to the time of adjourn-
ment. ’ '
LoOks Queer.
\Vhile Monday night’s express from'
Boston for New York was passing the
Cooper street crossing in Meriden, a
passenger whose name could not be
learned, left his seat, took the key
hanging on the door and turned off the
lights in the smoking car. In an in.
stant a bullet came crashing through a
window of the smoker and grazed the
head of Alexander Leitch, a buyer for
the house of Smith & Murray, of
Springfield. Several other passengers
had a narrow escape from the bullet.
The conductor immediately made an
investigation, but the man said the
turning off of the lights was a mistake.
The conductor would neither stop the
train for 'a- search for the person who
fired the shot, ' nor hold the man who
darkened the car. . ,

The Dog it was that Died.
A little after twelve Sunday night,
Officers Adams and Morehouse were
wending their silent way up deserted
Main street, when Adams’ quick, eye,
caught sight of the lifeless body of a
man lying at full length in the- middle
of the street. Loyal to his chief he at
once ran up High street and rapped up .
DeForest, when the trio, thus re-inforc
ed, solemnly trudged back to the spot
where lay the body. On a closer in-
spection, it was found to be the carcass
of a huge, black Newfoundland dog.
A rope was soon procured and DeFor-
est attaching his club to the end, these
guardians of the peace dragged the
poor, defunct canine to the dock and
rolled him into the briny water's,-,

drug store of Shiefman, a bottle of Sul-

morning, upon being asked why he
should steal, he stated that his mother
was troubled with Rheumatism, and
that it was the only medicine that help-

this was his firsi offence he was put on
