THIRTEEN.
A Man Who is Claimed to be the
Youngest Soldier in the Union
ARMY.

1t has not been long since one Of the
Reading papers engaged in an extended
controversy TO prove Readings claim to
having sent out the first defenders in the
time OF the country's danger in the shape
OF the Ringgold Artillery, and in the
struggle the claim was pretty thoroughly
established. The same paper, the News,
now claims that Reading is the birthplace
OF the youngest man who volunteered his
services in defense Of the Union.
The man in question is Joseph Aulen-
bach, who is living in Reading now. He
was member of the Twenty-frst Regi-
ment, cavalry, under the command OF
General D. Mem. Gregg, Army of the
Potomac. He was wounded twice, the
first time by ball passing through his
left lung. The second time the ball en-
tered his body between the third and
fourth ribs, within quarter OF an inch
Of his heart, and came out below the
shoulder blade. This last time ne was
captured and for some three months re-
manned at the house of David G.. Carr,
near Peters burg, Va. He was removed
from there to Petersburg, and thence to
Richmond, from which place he was sent
back to the Union lines on parole, and was
discharged after the surrender of General
Lee.
Aulenbach enlisted at the age of ID,
being tall and robust beyond his years.
He is reluctant about talking to news.
paper men about his career as soldier.
In spite of his severe wounds he is to-day
in excellent health and refers to his
adventures in the South and the kind
treatment of Mr.. Carr with pride and
gratefulness. He is at present an employ,
in one of the Reading hat factories. In q
recent letter from Mr., Carr, who died
within the past six months, that gentle
man says "Allow me to rejoice Will
your family for your safe return to them
and hope they are proud, for in truth
We had one brave begin the Union army.
A l3'year-old is the youngest that ha:
come TO our knowledge in the way of
soldier.

THE TRLAL OF o'HARA-
Mrs. Moore Gives Her Evidence in
the Dorch ester County Court.

the Dorchester County Court.
special to tbs Baltimore American.
CAxnzrDoE, April 29--In the Circuit
Court for Dorchester county, now In
session, the case of the State Va. Michael
O'Hara, indicted for assault with intent
to rape Mrs. Matilda Moore, was called.
This case occurred in the village Of
Church Creek, about eight miles from
Cambridge, on the 18th OF July last.
O'Hara Is resident Of Baltimore city.
Judges Irving, Wilson and Goldsboro
were on the bench. The State WIS repre-
scented by D. NJ. Henry, Jr., States
attorney, and the prisoner by
w. Hollingsworth Whyte and @.
X. Colt, OF the Baltimore bar
and Z. Sulivane Of this bar. Mrs. Moore
was the first witness called for the State
She is pretty woman, and has an inter-
esting and innocent face. AT times dur
ing her examination she was affected to
tears. She testified that she knew
o. Hara for about eight years, and lived
near him in Baltimore till she moved
with her husband, q. w. Moore. about
three years ago to Church Creek. O'Hara
was on visit to her house. Her hus-
band was at work in Cambridge. o'Hara
had closed all the windows in
his room but one looked out of
that one and called her from her
room, telling her that her child was
hurt; she ran into his room, when he
grabbed her around the neck and shout
ders and forced her down; she resisted
and made noise, but became nervous
and tainted. After accomplishing his
purpose, o'IIara then got on his knees
and begged her pardon and tried to
appeass her. He then left in hurry,
walking to Cambridge, and took the boat
for Baltimore. Witness told her hus-
band when he came home, and with
him went to Baltimore and had
0'Hara arrested. Other witnesses were
called to show the nervous condition OF
Mrs. Moore. The defense was based upon
| the claim Of an attempt at blackmail and
| revenge because 'Hara would not make
| a loan to Moore Of $500. Both sides here
rested the case. Mr.. D. NJ. Henry, Jr.,
the States attorney, then opened the argu-
ment before the jury, and made forci-
BILE and exhaustive resume of the
BILE thereto. Messrs. Gott, Whyte
and Sulivane followed In the
order named for the defense, each having
| oht vi inpio new anu ulubTeHt pOliilS u
make in behalf of the prisoner, some OF
which told with strong effect upon the
Jury. Nothing in the way of ingenuity
or argument was omitted by these gentle
men to acquit their client. Mr.. Henry
closed the case at S o'clock, and the jury
has not yet agreed.
Michael o'Hara, on trial at Cambridge,
Dorchester county, Maryland, on the
charge of violating the person of Mrs
Matilda A. Moore, was found guilty Of
assault and battery and on Saturday was
sentenced to pay 5000 and the costs o
the suit. 1t is alleged that two brothers
of Mis-. Moore endeavored to shoot thu
accused while he was being taken to til,
Northwestern police station in Baltimore
when the charge was first laid against
him. =--5
