ing a federal uniform and a prisoner in
Libby. He capered with joy when he saw
the son of his old master, and evidently
thought his troubles were over. He claimed
he had been forced into the service. Mr..
Tilghman asked him where he was made
prisoner. "A-fightin' in de crater TO Pc
tersburg." said Gilbert, with a shudder.
"Oh Mas Tench, take me out o dis. Sell
me to Georgy. Mas Tench, and femme

nor see no mo- soldiers. Git Gilbert out
o dis rouble do, honey"
The man was sincere. Mr.. Tflghman
went to work to get the necessary permits
sion TO carry out Gilbert's request. 1t was
an unprecedented piece of business, but
finally the order was passed and the pa
pers signed and Gilbert was brought out
from prison with his United States uniform
on, and sold at public auction to a man
from Georgy." The war ended not long
afterwards. Mr.. Tilghman returned to Tai
bot as soon as he could. One of the first
to greet him after his return home was
Gilbert Adams, who got back to Talbot
before his Mas Tench" did.
This IS perhaps the only instance during
the war where a man wearing the federal
uniform was sold at public auction.
