II. The proceedings, findings and sentence in the foregoing case are approved and confirmed. The forfeiture of pay is hereby remitted. Offences such as those of which Lieut. Simpson was found guilty, merit severe punishment, and it is hoped that his narrow escape from leaving the service in disgrace may have a beneficial effect upon his future conduct.

Lieutenant Simpson will be released from arrest and returned to duty with his Company.

BY COMMAND OF BREVET MAJOR GENERAL RUGER:
J. A. CAMPBELL,
Assistant Adjutant General.
