CHICAGO, Feb. Tin the memoirs oi
Jefferson Davis. recently published by
his widow, many pages are devoted to a
description Of the "tortures OF Fortress
Monroe OF which district General
Miles, now at the head OF the division
Of the Missouri, was in command at the
time Davis was imprisoned there. Mrs.
Davis charges General Miles with cruelty
to the president OF thef confederacy.
He is charged with shackling Davis
by brutal force, keeping him in alser-
min-infested cell, Withholding his
clothes and linen, and making souve-
Mrs out OF his possessions -even his
hair, when he had it cut.
General Miles was interviewed today
in regard to the matter. He said he did
not mind the attack. 'tOf course he
added, MRS. Davis feels bitter towards
me, as she probably does toward many
more northern soldiers. While
caring nothing at all for any
thing which she may say or write,
would call your attention to the fact
that Jefferson Davis managed to survive
my cruel treatment and lived twenty
years after, finally dying of old age.
That would hardly have been the case,
| think, if he had been subjected to
such horrible abuses. There is not a
particle OF truth in the statements made
by his wife. The fact is JEFF Davis never
was in better trim than when he was
liberated"

LOcKWooD'S CELL UNLOCKED.
He Succeeds in Finding Friends to Go
On His Bond.

Ex-Justice OF the Peace w. G. Lock-
wood today is, for the time at least, a
free man. Whether he will so remain
depends upon the next jury which will
try him on the charge he is now under
bonds to answer, that of embezzling
money which was deposited with him
while he was acting as justice. The
jury at his trial disagreed, and the
amount of his bail was fixed at $4,000,
which at the time he could not give.
Yesterday evening, however, Mr..
Lockwood succeeded in finding friends
who had confidence enough in him to
become responsible for his appearance,
and their satisfactory financial condition
being made apparent to Judge Shaw,
the bond was accepted and Lockwood
was released.
