Art. 85. In all cases where a commissioned officer is cashiered for
cowardice or fraud, it shall be added in the sentence, that the
crime, name, and place of abode, and punishment of the delinquent, be
published in the newspapers, in and about the camp, and of a particular
state from which the offender came, or where he usually resides, after
which it shall be deemed scandalous for an officer to associate with
him.
Art. 86. The commanding officer of any post or detachment, in which
there shall not be a number of officers adequate to form a general
court martial, shall, in cases which require the cognizance of such a
court, report to the commanding officer of the department, who shall
order a court to be assembled at the nearest post or detachment, and
the party accused, with necessary witnesses, to be transported to the
place where the said court shall be assembled.
Art. 87. No person shall be sentenced to suffer death but by the
concurrence of two thirds of a general court martial, nor except in the
cases herein expressly mentioned; nor shall more than fifty lashes be
inflicted on any offender, at the discretion of a court martial, and no
officer, non-commissioned officer, soldier, or follower of the army,
shall be tried a second time for the same offence.
Art. 88. No person shall be liable to be tried and punished by a
general court martial for any offence which shall appear to have been
committed more than two years before the issuing of the order for such
trial, unless the person by reason of having absented himself, or some
other manifest impediment, shall not have been amenable to justice
within that period.
Art. 89. Every officer authorised to order a general court martial,
shall have power to pardon or mitigate any punishment ordered by such
court, except the sentence of death, or of cashiering an officer; which
in the cases where he has authority (by article 65) to carry them
into execution, he may suspend until the pleasure of the President
of the United States can be known; which suspension, together with
copies of the proceedings of the court martial, the said officer shall
immediately transmit to the President for his determination. And the
colonel or commanding officer of the regiment or garrison, where any
regimental or garrison court martial shall be held, may pardon or
mitigate any punishment ordered by such court to be inflicted.
Art. 90. Every judge advocate, or person officiating as such, at any
general court martial, shall transmit, with as much expedition as the
opportunity of time and distance of place can admit, the original
proceedings and sentence of such court martial, to the secretary of
war, which said original proceedings and sentence shall be carefully
kept and preserved in the office of the said secretary, to the end that
the persons entitled thereto may be enabled, upon application to the
said office, to obtain copies thereof.
