Allegations: On Aug. 20, 1918, that it was not right for the young men
to go to war and get killed; that defendant had been a soldier in Russia for
two years and thereby had learned that if a soldier could make his officer
believe he could not understand Military orders, the officer would discharge
such a soldier; that he had instructed one John Saaria to thus deceive the
United States officers at Camp Lewis, Wash., and that John Saaria had done so
and had thus played dummy and had pretended not to savvy (understand) orders
in that Camp and thereby John Saaria had effected his release from Camp and
was back home; that soldiering was a hell of a job and that if certain young
men then and there within United States draft ages were called to Training
Camps and would do likewise and play dummy and pretend not to savvy
(understand), they too would be dismissed from Camp by the officers and be
sent back home. Case Details: Pled guilty, fined $500. Personal Information: None. Date and place of death unknown.
