St. f-oiiis, F«h. 11.—Established prec-

rendered by the United States circuit
court of appeals Monday In the case
of Peter C. Doming, a former captain
of United States volunteers, against
Robert W- McClaughrey, warden of

enworth.
Demlng was Impriiioned on the sen-
tence of a court, martial composed of
nine regular army oMcers. convened
by Oen. 8 haher on Martfc 29, 1900. The
opinion of the circuit court written by
Judge Walter S. Sanborn, is that the
court martial which sentenced Demifig
acted In violation of article 77 of the
articles of war which provides that of-
ficers of the regular army shall not
be competent to sit In court martial
for the trial of officers and soldiers of
other forces.
The essential question as stated In
Judge Sanborn's opinion Is whether the
volunteer army Is the same as the reg-
ular army, or whether it is one of tho
"other fores" mentioned in article 77.
The opinion establishes the fact that
the volunteer army is at all times dis-
tinct from the regular army.
Demlng will be released from the
Fort Leavenworth penitentiary within
60 days, and all other former mem-
bers of th volunteer army who are
confined In federal prisons on sen-
tences Inflicted by court martial of reg-
ular officers, will also be liberated as
the result of this decision. It is stated-
