THE CASE OP PRIVATE GtSTAV I
HOOpAX.

(General Orders No. ,'>1), in regard to the
case of Private Gustav Hootan, who was
sentenced to be shot for desertion, with
Wstimmnlrpr imrt Stark, and tlie sentence !
in whose case was suspended, on account i
of an error made l?y the court in regard I
to his name
I, So much of General Orders No. 50, current
series, from these Headquarters, as orders the
execution of the sentence of General Coart Martial,
which convened at Hilton Head, S. C , pursuant
to Special Orders No. 21, dated March -1th,
1S64, and Special Orders No. 24, dated March j

Regt. Coun Vol. Infantry, is hereby annulled?it
appearing upon investigation that Private Gustav
Hoofan. Co. B, Oth Regt Conn. Vols., was the

This is a radical and fatal error, and the inexcusable
carelessness upon tl* part of the Judge

Regt. P. V.. in recording the proceedings of the
Court, and of the t'flurt itself in review ing the
sitmc, merits the severest censnre.
II. The proceedings, findings, and sentence in
the above case'are null and void Private Gustav
Hoofan, Co. B, 6th Regt Conn. Vol. Infantry,
is released from confinement and restored to
duty.
