43D CONGRESS, 1st Session. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. REPORT No. 203.
ANN HUMPHREYS.
FEBRUARY 27, 1874.--Committed to a Committee of the Whole House and ordered to be printed.
Mr. McJUNKIN, from the Committee on Invalid Pensions, submitted the following
REPORT:
[To accompany bill H. R. 2214.]
The Committee on Invalid Pensions, to whom was referred the petition of Ann Humphreys, submit the following report:

Ann Humphreys, widow of Lawrence Humphreys, late a private in Company H, Ninety-first Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers, claims a pension on the ground that her husband was either murdered or accidentally killed while in the military service aforesaid.

The Adjutant-General of the United States Army, in his report of the 6th September, 1873, says: "The charge of drunkenness against him (to wit, Lawrence Humphreys,) has been removed;" and further says: "This man is supposed to have been brutally murdered, or met his death by stumbling over blocks of marble and striking his head against cog-wheels at the Capitol extension, on or about April 6, 1862, while returning to barracks from pass."

General Baker, Commissioner of Pensions, says, in letter of 29th September, 1873: "This case is not admissible under the general pension laws, but is deserving of favorable consideration by Congress."

The committee being satisfied that the soldier met his death while in the military service and line of duty, recommend the passage of the act granting a pension to the petitioner, subject to the provisions and limitations of the pension laws, to take effect from the pasage of the act.
