His claim to a pension lacks merit.
It must be conceded that upon the claimant's own showing he was not injured as an incident to military service.
The second enactment is of course entirely useless, and was evidently passed by mistake.
I return without approval House bill No. 823, entitled 'An act granting a pension to Hannah C. De Wilt.'
