a veteran Tells How the Boys Sang M
tiOnal Airs ON the Fourth.

tiOnai Alrs ON the Fourth.
'Twenty-seven years ago was one
OF 500 union soldiers who sang the
Star Spangled Banner Hail COlum-
Ola. and other national airs in Libby"
sal$ Captain circuit recently to Pitts
burg Dispatch reporter. 'One of the
boys had concealed about him q small
Nag which had escaped the scrutiny OF
the guard. We placed 1t on the top Of
pole. and rallied around II like . lot
OF schoolboys. We occupied the third
story OF the building. which was In
one room. When we looked through
the grating on the windows we could
see the angry guards below. and they
didn't hesitate to shoot when q face
was presented. The bullet would fire.
quently strike the ceiling and 20 up
through the roof. The prison authori.
ties tried to stop uA but our spirits
were too buoyant that day. We hadn't
been reduced much at that time from
starvation and exposure. They pun
ished US by giving us nothing to eat
Tor four days, and then we received O
pint OF course meal apiece.
Il didn't remain long at Libby, and
soon was sent to Andersonville. I
served nine months during the war in
prison. Many and many time I
longed to be in the penitentiary.
Anything was better than that terrible
confinement used to Law awake for
hours and think OF the swill my father
gave to his hogs when I was q boy,
and often wished could get some OF
it for i. was a good deal better than
the fare we received. 1t is strange
that under such circumstances
that soldier wouldn't think OF
feasts. etc.. but l did not. The
men. however. suffered the most
from exposure. and there was no OK.
cuse for this at Andersonville. It was
downright bartarity. The prison was
surrounded with a forest Of pine trees.
and we would have been glad to build
shSnties and cut the wood for fuel, but
they wouldn't permit it. have seen
as many rs Ave of the boys freeze to-
gether in a heap They had no
clothes to wear, and I did not have q
fire during my imprisonment Twice
broke sway but was tracked by
bloodhounds and brought back. The
first time heard them coming got
into tree. when four lnea on mules
came up. They ordered me down. and
told them would come as soon Us
they took the dogs away. They
threatened to shoot me, but for some
reason they didn't. At another time
while on the way to Macon. jumped
off the train in a swamp with four
others. We were out for two days before
recaptured.
Il was one OF the principal witnesses
at Washington against Wirtz after the
war. Sickness prevented my testifying
against Bob Duncan the quartermas-
ter in Georgia. remember we were
in the stone jail at Petersburg when
Grant shellcd the town. Two OF the
shots struck the building and we
howled for the Union troops to come
on. The boys did not care il some OF
them were killed by their friends il
the balance could only escape from
rebel captivity"
