Congressman Gorman

Concerning the bilí for the removal of the disability of Richarc H. Marsh, of Saline, for alleged desertion during the war, which bill was formally reported from the committee on military affairs of which Congressman Gorman was chairman, the committee says: "In view of the fact that this soldier was a mere boy, and that the parents had the right to secure his release, which they were endeavoring to do, and which he feit and had just cause to feel had been done, as was done with a boy who ran away and enlisted with him by the name of Emerick, and in view of the fact that he was of no expense to the government, your committee believe that it is a simple act of justice to grant the relief sought."
