Unholy Fire
“Major Pease was called as the first witness of the day. He seemed close to tears when he talked about the death of Pvt. Ratliff Boone and stated repeatedly that he only wished he had come a day earlier to inspect the meat.
At the conclusion of his testimony, Mr. Silbernagel’s lawyer had a chance to cross-examine him. After receiving the court’s approval to produce an exhibit, he had two hindquarters of newly slaughtered beef brought into the courtroom on a trolley. One of them, he told the mili...tary judges, had been determined by army inspectors to be ulcerated in several places, while the other was merely bruised, and, therefore, still suitable for human consumption.
He then asked Major Pease to look at the two samples and identify which one was ulcerated. Harold Tubshawe immediately objected, but since Major Pease had made the determination that Mr. Silbernagel’s beef was ulcerated, the presiding officer of the tribunal allowed the question to stand.
After examining the hindquarters for almost ten minutes, the major mistakenly identified the ulcerated hindquarter as the bruised one.MoreLess
