A Story OF the War
During the war a portion Of German
family arrived here and landed only few
days previous to the setting in of the block.
ade. The boy, by name Charles Redipeer,
located himself and his sister in the third
district. Not being very successful in a
pecuniary way, he bade his sister farewell
and heroically joined the Ninth Connecticut
in 1868, then in the barracks below this city.
While there woman whose name is Maria
Delherbe was in TIE daily habit of pedding
cakes TO the boys in blue. Charles became
one of her best customers, and his money
went freely into her cash box, and becoming
quite intimate, began to call her mother,
and occasionally visited her house.
His regiment was finally ordered to Vir-
ginia, where he was killed at Fishers Hill,
September 23, 1864, bravely falling by the
side of his captain, Vim. Wright. and was
-
He was, up to that time, still unable 70 fully
converse IN English.
On the 22d of September, 1865, Maria Del
herbe appeared before Justice Meunier, Ex-
change alley, in company with Peter Loren
20 and Fred Bechinan as witnesses, and
made affidavit that she (Maria DeIherbe)
was the mother of Charles Redinger and on
that statement procured bounty money to
the amount of $462
after the young mans death his sister made
application for the bounty, and never again
heard of her application until she learned
that some one had already been paid the
amount. Tracing it up she learned the facts
as stated above, and on advice procured the
arrest Of Maria, who was yesterday taken
before Judge Shannon, and faced by Amelia
Riva, the poor boys sister, who stated that
her mother died In Germany several years
ago, which statement she made good By
testimony of several competent witnesses.
There was no evidence for the defense, but
the woman gave bonds in $4,000 for her ap-
pearance before the United States circuit
court for trial.
