certain prisoners of rank held by the
union army. The five officers were
placed in the dungeon of Libby prison
known as the "black hole" where
they remained nearly three months.
The health of these hostages becom-
ing seriously impaired by reason of
their scanty food, long and close con-
fnement, they were, upon the recon-
mendation of the medical authorities
at Richmond, sent to Salisbury, S. c.,
and eventually to Danville, from
where. on the following August 30,
Capt. Frey was again placed in close
confinement at Libby prison in Rich
mond in alleged retaliation for the
treatment of Capt. Gordon of the con-
federate army, who had been regularly
tried by military tribunal, convicted
and sentenced to death. the execution
of which sentence, however, President
Lincoln suspended, and meanwhile
Capt w. G. Stewart of the confederate
army was placed in cell confinement
as hostage for the threatened retail
iatory execution of Capt. Frey. Final
". January Il. 1866, Capt. Frey was
paroled at Atkins Landing, Va, and
upon reporting for duty, after recuper-
ating somewhat, was sent TO his regi-
ment and duly mustered out of service
as captain of company II, Eighty-sec-
ond Illinois volunteers, June 9, 1855,
having been brevetted maj or United
States volunteers for gallant and mer-
:torious services during the wnr,"
March ID, 1865.
The shattered condition of his health
and MS long absence from home in
duced Col. Frey to return to Switzer-
land. where he engaged in editorial
labors and soon became an active and
prominent factor in the so-called So
cial or progressive democracy, being
repeatedly elected to congress. and was
one term speaker of the house of rep
resentatives or national council.
In 1882 it was decided to esta blish =
full diplomatic mission at Washington.
Col. Frey was unanimously selected as
Switzerland's minister pienipotentiary
TO the United States. where he served
with an enviable record until 1857,
when he resigned to return to Switzer-
land. He was Immediately reelected
to congress and was subsequently made
chief OF the military department
equivalent to secretary of war in the
United States.
