No. 1536 1839 Nov. 16, H. McLEOD. GENERAL ORDER 8
The foregoing proceedings 9 with the testimony and the defence of the prisoner, have been laid before the President, for his orders in the case. He regrets deeply that he can find nothing in the evidence to miti- gate the crime of the prisoner. He made a deliberate attack upon the life of an officer in the discharge of his duty- an impartial court has convicted him- the law awards the punishment, and justice demands its execution. The commanding officer will carry the sentence into effect. The General Court Martial, of which Col ;Edward Burleson is Presi- dent, is hereby dissolved. By order of the Secretary of War. H. McLEOD, Adjutant General. IO' Telegraph will please give one insertion.
