Demonstration of How Springfield Cartridges Are Loaded.
San Antonio, March 16. Some expert testimony was introduced by the defense in the Pearose courtmartial case.
Lieutenant H. A. Wagenstein demonstrated to the court how Springfield cartridges should be loaded into a Winchester rifle.
H. A. Stockey told of his experiments at Fort McIntosh, under conditions as nearly as possible like those existing at Brownsville on the night of the shooting. The witness said an electrical and mechanical engineer said the gun flashes were not sufficient to illuminate the faces or bodies of the men doing the shooting. Observers of experiments were not able to tell anything of those who fired guns.
