We state the facts to be as follows-and we
can verify them by the afidavits of numerous
respectable citizens of Vermont and N. H.
viz:
Franklin Hicks, the recruit in question,fo
year and half last past, has resided in
Guildhall, VT, with his family. He has paid
taxes and is legal voter there, and but a few
days prior to the event in question was duly
enrolled among the able-bodied militia of
that torn by the listers, preparatory to the
anticipated draft of nine months men. On
Monday, the 18th ult, said Hicks was at Ian
caster, and after being literally furnished
with the ardent, was induced by Mr. F. R.
Kent, recruiting officer, to enlist in the 9Th
n. n. regiment. At this time he had not
moved or attempted to move from Guldhall.
The next day, still stimulated by New Hamp-
shire liquor, Hicks attempted to gather up
his effects at Guildhall, and with his family
skedadcle over the river. He did this ex-
pressly to avoid being drafted from Guildhal,
according to his own admissions made repeat
eddy after becoming sober. While attempt
ing to get into New Hampshire with his goods
and chattes he was promptly arrested by
deputy sheriff Meacham Of Guildhall, for try
ing to leave the State pending the draft, and
delivered into the custody of high sheriff Be-
dell, of Lunenburg. By the latter Hicks
was carried to St Johnsbury, where the su-
preme court was in session, and the facts laid
before Hon Judges Poland and Kellogg, who
at once decided that the town authorities of
Guildhall might lawfully detain any of their
enrolled militia who might be attempting to
avoid the draft, until such time as their QUO
ia was filled. Therefore, Mr. Hicks at his
own request was carried to the recruiting Of
flee at Guildhall where he voluntarily enlist
ed, being suber, too, and is now at Brattle-
boro.
Perhaps it may not be generally known
that the quota Of Guildhall, owing to some
unaccountable blunder, which the town has
III vain tried to have corrected, is 20 three
years men, while she has but 46 men in all
subject to do military duty. And only two
n.en are credited to her, although large
number have gone from thence to the war;
Add to these the nine months men required
and it will not seem strange at all why the
citizens Of Guildhall were anxious to prevent
the abduction OF their able-boded men into
n. H., or anywhere else.
1t is true that Hicks slept in Jail Tuesday
night, the Goth ult, but he was not put there
until information deemed reliable had been
received that posse from Lancaster, headed
by the man under whose auspices Hicks was
induced to enlist in New Hampshire, was
coming to Guildhall with the avowed purpose
Of forcbly rescuing him from the authorities
there.
1t is false that Hicks ever moved into Ian.
caster or attempted to DO so until the day OF
his arrest, which was the next day after he
mad been recruited" by MIR f. R. Kent.
1t is false that he was Impressed" into the
Vermont service in any sense whatever. His
enlistment at Guildhal was purely volunta
ry matter. Respectfully yours,
