Summary

Description

Results of the Court-Martial of Commander Walke, Evening Post, March 29, 1861, Page 1. Note: "Mr. Welles, the Secretary of the Nary, in confirming the sentence, says:
I have confirmed this sentence. In carrying it into execution it is my duty, lest you should misconstrue the lenity exhibited by the Court in your case, to remind you that the disobedience, by an officer, of a positive and lawful order of his superior, is one of gravest of military offenses. It strikes at the very foundation of discipline; and therefore, in all cases, met with effective rebuke. I am willing to trust the judgment of the Court that the circumstances in your case are sufficiently palliating to exempt you from the proper punishment for such an offense; but I would admonish you not to be misled as to the character of the offense.
You are relieved from arrest.
I am, respectfully, your obedient servant,

Gideon Welles."
