that "Jach the Ripper" left it there, and he
got his shot gun and made zig fire in his
house and watched all night for Jack, but
morning came and Jack did not return.
The weather for the past ten days has been
very unfavorable for the farmers. Some
have planted corn, but it will be almost
certain to rot in the ground, owing to ex
cessive rains. Farmers near the railroad
are preparing to plant largely in melons.
Col. John Breckenridge Castleman of
kentucky, who has been in Atlanta several
days, the guest of his brother, Humphreys
CasUleman, left for Louisville Monday. he
was once sentenced to be hanged. Col.
Castleman has long been one of Kentucky's
most prominent citizens, and at present is
adjutant general on the governors staff.
He was in Kentucky when the war began
and entered the confederate army with
Morgan. He was one of that gallant gen
erals most faithful and confidential
leutenants, and rode beside him
during many daring, reckless charges
During the war he was captured by
the federal troops, and later was tried by
court-martial. The court made quick work
of the trial and sentenced Col. Castleman
to death by the rope. When sentence OF
death was passed the colonel asked to be
given soldiers death, but the court
martial thought shooting too good for hin.
He was placed IN jail to await the day for
his execution and gave himself up to his
fate. But he was not hanged. Col. Castle
man had a married sister residing in ST.
Louis. Her husband was a union gentle
man of prominence and influence. Through
him the sister went to work and on the day
before the death sentence was to be carried
out she reached Washington. That after
noon she called upon President Lincoln,
and before leaving the white house
had induced the chief executive to
save her brothers life. The sentence
was changed to confinement in
the penitentiary, and on the day upon
wuich he was to have died the gallant
Kentuckian was sent to tho prison. His
head was shaved, and he was given a con-
vict garr. In the panitentiary Col. Castle
man found several Of Morgan hard-riding
raiders, and in short time they began to
pant for their freedom. They succeeded in
forming plot, and one morning when the
penitentiary officials awoke they found
that Morgan's mel had tunneled their way
out Of the prison. Pursuit was gwen, but
the confederates had gone, and in a short
time were mounted and fighting under their
flag again.
