DRAGOONS MAJOR IS
FOUND
NOT GUILTY ON TWO COUNTS
LONDON. Aug. 27 (Reuter)-At the resumed Court Martial to-day, Major Alfred Wintle of the First Royal Dragoons, was found not guilty on the first and third charges against him, namely, feigning infirmity by pretending that he was suffering from defective vision and committing conduct to the prejudice of good order and military discipline.
The findings of the second charge will be promulgated. This charge alleged that when on active service he committed a civil offence, namely, assaulting Air Commodore Boyle, Director of
Intelligence at the Air Ministry.

Field Marshal Sir Edmund Ironside, former Chief of imperial General Stoff, was one of the principal wit- nesses called to-iny. He said he met Major Wintle last December through the introduction of Marshal Lond Birdwood, former Chief of the Im-
