He said: On the day of the murder,
Carreiro entered a French Canadianlshoe
dealers store near the south end of the

silver trade dollar, apparently brand
new, and also a silver half dollar with

trade dollar as Carreiro said otherwise
he would have to break a big bill. The
dealer refused to take the half dollar be-
cause it had hole in it. The shoe deal
er wrapped up the old shoes and Carreiro
wore the new shoes out Of the store. He

had given silver trade dollars
to Bertha and Jennie (Mrs. Coolidge),

the officers learned, was also kept half

any conversation with the shoe dealer in

Blake, or "Old Shady" as he was best
known. Joined the army as cook for the
officers of the Seventy-frst Ohio regl-
ment and was on the field at Shiloh.
He afterward shipped on the steamer
Magnolia, which was used IS transport
for Grants headquarters at the opening
Of the Vicksburg campaign. During
that time "Old Shady" came to the
notice of the commander, and he en-
gagged him as cook; but, true to his
warrant nature, the dg-ky asked for
TRANSFORMATION home on a brief visit as
o bonus and failed to report lack for
duty at the end Of his furlough. Sub
s~equontly he fell in with the steward Of
McPherson's mess, was employed as
cook fora time and then became chief
caterer.
"Old Shady's" song made a hit by rea-
son Of the patronage of the generals and
was taken up by the Lombard brothers,
who managed q band of singers that Of
ten entertained the soldiers in their
camps during the winter season. The
Lombards learned the song at McPher-
sons quarters, where the cOlored min
strel sang it for them over and over until
they Enewit by heart. Finally it became
popular campaign song and had its
day with ''Suwanee River" sole Vir-
ginny," John Browns Body" and other
airs appealing to the sentiment Of the
hour.
