The Man Who Never Shirked q Respon-

jefferson Dau,s IN North Amerioan Revie,o. ]
After the close of the war, while T
was in prison and Lee was on parole,
we were both indicted on a charge of
treason, hut in hot haste to get in
their work the Indictment was drawn
with the fatal omission of an overt
act. General Grant interposed in the
case of General Lee on the ground
that he had taken his parole and that
he was, therefore, no subject to ar
rest.
Another grand jury was summoned,
and a bill was presented against me
alone, and amended by inserting
specifications of overt acts. General
Lee was summoned as a witness be-
fore that grand jury, the object being
to prove by him that I was responsible
for certain things done by him during
the war. | was in Richmond, having
been released by virtue of the writ Of
habeas corpus. General Lee met me
vefy soon after having given his testi-
mony before the grand jury, and told
me that to the inquiry whether he
had not, in the specified case acted
under my orders, he said that he had
always consulted me when he had the
opportunity, both on the field and
elsewhere; that after discussion, if not
before we had always agreed, and
therefore he had done with my con.
sent and approval only what he might
have done if he had not consulted me,
and that he accepted the full respon
sibility for his acts. The evident pur-
pose was to offer Lee a chance to
escape by transferring to me the re-
sponsibiiity for overt acts. Not only
to repel the suggestion, but unequivo-
calfy to avow his individual response
bility, with all that, under existing
circumstances, was implied, was the
highest reach of moral courage and
gentlemanly pride.

application to the various Baptist
Boards of the Southern Conyention to
be sent to that country to do, mission
ary work. These applications, were
invariably refused by all the boards on
account of the condition of PowelPs
mind. While attending the cconven-
tion here he did something which pos
itively confirmed its unsoundness.
When the convention was in session
he went to- a dry goods store and
bought some colored calico, some rib
bons and lot of brass pins. He then
went back to the church, went into
the basement and stripped himself Of
his clothing. Then he wrapped the
calico and ribbons about him, fasten
ing them to his body by sticking the
pins deep into his flesh. In this,con-
dition he walked into the main audi

to have been the bride of tEis Baptist

Truth often finds its counterpart in
fiction, yet the tragedies of fiction are
not more terrible or stranger than
those of truth. Our tragic tale of a
minister's intellect dethroned in 1879,
his partial recovery and love episode
in Cleveland, suit os clothes annul-
ing marriage vow, Miss Hogue's love
disappointment ending in death in the
Morganton Asylum, his teaching as
Independent missionary in Africa, fol-
lowed by the missionary maniac, Rev.
Carson L. Powelts killing his little
three-year.old daughter, Ruth, in
Algiers, the French province of Africa
is sad recital of woe. Some Of the
narrative is familiar to our Cleveland
county readers, as this African mission
ary spent une summer here preaching
and doing missionary work. He is
now confined as maniac in q French
hospital in Algiers. His wife. sad
and desolate, will soon leave tie mis-
sion field and return TO her Nnative
State, North Car ,lina.

the salient points that could be en-
