Now good friends Of the public,
here is the whole trouble between
Mr.. N. and myself. The "fond

He believes his boys words against

In company with other prisoners,
Captain Gordon was sent back to Fort
McHenry. where he had been previously
imprisoned, to be tried there on the
charge OF being spy, and was finally
condemned to be shot on November 20.
After sentence had been pronounced he
thanked the court that it bad awarded
him the death OF n soldier, and not OF a

Just about that time gallant Union
officer fell into the hands OF the con-
federates and was taken to Libby pris-
on. Not long before his capture he
had boosted in letter written to q
friend from the camp just before Rich
lnond that he would be in that city be-
fore more than four months should
have rolled by. And, sure enough,
there he was, too, long before the time
expired, but under very different con-
ditions from those he had so pleasantly
anticipated,
The officer was Capt. Emil Frey, OF
the Eighty-second Illinois volunteers,
still well aud agreeably remembered
hero as the predecessor OF the present
Swiss minister, and now member OF
the highest legislative body OF his ma

returned after the war.
He was held Us hostage for the lie OF
Captain Gordon. and il the latter had
been executed would also have been
shot. The friends OF the Union officer
secured pardon from President Lin

safety his lie was being held in the bal

Delaware in May, 1861, Capt. Gordon
Was lnally sent to Fort Monroe to be
