In May, 1898, a court-martial rendered a decision in the case of Captain Oberlin Carter, a brilliant engineer officer, who was accused of conspiracy with others to defraud the government by causing false and fraudulent claims to be made in connection with certain contracts for works at Cumberland Sound, Savannah, Georgia. The amount was about $1,500,000. The frauds were made by obscure advertising so that no one could make bids without inside information. It is claimed the contractors made profits of 900 per cent. Captain Carter was sentenced to be dismissed from the army, pay a fine of $5,000 and be imprisoned for five years. After a delay of nearly 18 months, the findings were approved by the President, after which a writ of habeas corpus was brought in the civil courts, which was dismissed, and an appeal from this decision is now pending in the Supreme Court of the United States. The co-conspirators have not been prosecuted, although a rumor prevails that they will be soon.
