THE TRIAL OF GEN. GAINES. A letter to
the Norfolk Beacon, from Old Point dated July
29th, says


.Gen'l Brooke arrived here this morning in
the Baltimore boat, and was received with a
salute of eleven guns The Gen'l has recov-
cred from his recent indisposition, and is look
ing as well as ever saw him.


The Court of Equity in the case of Gen'l
Gaines being fully organized proceeded to busi-
ness to-day. The Court consists of Gen1 Bra
dy, Genl Brooke and Col. Crane. Capt. Lee is
the recorder of the Court. After the record
was read up to this date, Gen'l.Gaines request
| that all the orders and correspondence in the
case might be taken up and read according 10
their dates. The orders and correspondence are
separated in the office of the Adjutant General.
General G., thought that it was important to
his defence to show the circumstances under
which he acted-the necessity which in his judg-
ment existed, owing to the critical situation OF
Gen'l Tay lor and the Army on the Rio Grande,
for his action. The Court agreed to the mo-
tion.


Gen'l Gaines asked that an official copy OF
the letter to the Secretary OF War OF the IND
| May, 1916, which was not found among the
documents transmitted 10 the Recorder by the
Adjutant General, might be obtained and filed
in the case. The Court was cleared and upon
its re-opening Gen'l G. was informed that the
Court had granted his request, and that the Re-
corder would communicate with the War De-
partment on the subject. Gen. Gaines stated
that he regarded this letter as the basis of the
whole business, and wished to show that official
information in his possession justified his
course. The Court then proceeded with the
documents in order. There are number OF
visitors in attendance on the Court, the room
being well filled.


There is a large and brilliant company at the
Old Point Hotel.
