——A report was sent ous oo Saturday
last from Washington in effect that soldiers
of the Fifth regimens bad epgaged in loot-
ing a store just before they left that city
on their trip home and shat the soldiers
would likely be courtmartialed. The item
was entirely wrong, as the company refer- |
red to was company K, and the time late |
Friday night. In the first place there is!
no company K in the Fifth regiment and
‘the only two companies along, B, of this
place, and D, of Blairsville, arrived home
on Friday evening, ten hours or more be-
fore the alleged looting of the stores took
place. It might further be added that the
soldiers of the Filth regiment were all very
well behaved while in the national capital.
Claude Smith bas been in Washington
this week investigating the matser of the
alleged store looting and, while he has
found thas she story is correct so far as the
looting charge is concerned, he has evi-
dence which entirely exonerates the soldiers
of the Fifth regiment, or any of the Pennsyl-
vania troops, for that matter. Though he
has not divaiged all the facts he has found
out, it is intimated by those in a position
to know that the rioting was done by troops
located in a State much closer to Washing-
ton than Pennsylvania,
