Lees Sword at Appo,na;tox.

Benjamin Jeifries, of Des Moines, Iowa,
one of the few surviving eyc-witnesses OF
Lees surrender at AppomattOX, was inter-
viewed recently concerning General Jubal
Early's recent denial of the story that Gen
eral Lees sword was rendered to Grant.
Jetiries served through the war in a Penn
sylvanla regiment, and at the time of Lee 5
surrender was member of Company 4,
One Hundred and Ninety first Regiment,
Bucktails.' He tells the following story
After fighting ceased General Grant rode
to the front, where our regiment was de-
ployed on the skirInish line, and ordered
that guard be stationed across the road
leading down TO the village, and that no
one be allowed to pass. About o'clock in
the afternoon he returned, accompanied by
an escort OF 200 or $50 officers. Leaving all
but one aid behind, he rode through the
lines and down the slope toward the Court
house, Il short distance off. As he did
so, General Lee accompanied by one
aid, came toward him from the op-
positc direction. About seventy-fiVe
yards from where we were stationed on
guard stood small story and a half log
house. near which grew large apple tree.
Grant and Lee met at this point and halted
under this tree Lee rode a large. hand
some roam. while Grant was mounted on q
small black horse. Dismounting. Lee drew
his sword and Offered it to Grant, but Grant
refused to accept it and Lee returned it to
its scabbard, Then Grant offered his hand
. lee and they shook hands, as did their
aids, and ali engaged in conversation for
about five minutes, when, renountlng,
they rode away to the Courthouse. where
the papers completing the terms of the sur
render were drawn up. saw tie first
meeting between Grant and Lee, and saw
Grant refuse to take his sword. for stood
