manuscripts, January 17, 1925. ( The clemency review file of William J. Hough, formerly a Private in the 24th Infantry, who was convicted of disobeying
orders, mutiny, murder, and assault with intent to commit murder in connection with the race riots in Houston, Texas on August 23, 1917. He was sentenced to
