ST. ALBANS RAID.
Two of the Raiders Meet and Talk
over the Event.

A recent number of the Atlanta, Ga,
Journal has the following story which will
be Of exceptional interest to Vermont read
ers:
Among the members of the convention
are two of the St. Adams raiders for
whose heads the. governor OF Vermont
offered a reward OF $4,000. Colonel
Bennett H. Young of Kentucky, organized
a raiding party OF 81 men from the Con-
tederate prisoners who escaped from Fed
eral prisons into Canada. The plan was
conceived in the confederacy, but devel-
oped in Canada and executed IN Vermont.
Leaving the Canadian border these 81
desperate men went by rail to ST. Albans,
beautiful town of 1000 people, which
nestled at the foot of the mountains, far
removed from the scene of the great war
and resting in faneied security.
The raiders went quietly to the hotel
and coolly made arrangements to take the
money in the five banks in the town.
They divided, a certain number going to
each bank at 80 o'clock In the afternoon.
The bank officers were speeches and
taken completely by surprise. They we're
struck dumb and offered no resistance
while the raiders took S243, 900 from their
vaults and tills. The Confederates took 800
prisoners without firing shot and marched
them to the center of the town. The peo-
pie were paralyzsd by the boldness of the

exploit and the only man hurt was killed
accidentally.
The raiders began to make their way
back to Canada and the whole state turned
out to catch them. 1t is said that $4,000
men were looking for the confe derates but
they made their way to Canada, where Is
of them were captured and prosecuted for
violation of neutrality laws.
General Bennett H. Young was not cap
tured but having led his brave comrades
into that danger he coolly walked into
Montreal and surrendered to the authori-
ties, sharing the fate of the prisoners in
order that he might defend them. The
United States government prosecuted the
prisoners and General Young defended
them. The government sought to make
the act a robbery and General Young con-
tended that it was an act of war. To estab-
lish this fact it was necessary to produce
evidence that the raid was planned in the
contederacy. Evidence to that effect came
from Richmond.
The morning of the day when the judges
would delay no longer, a telegram was re-
ceived saying that messenger with the
precious documents to save IA lives had
reached Canadian soil. The attorney spoke
IA hours before the messenger came into
court almost breathless and placed the evil
dence in the lawyers hand.
Gen. Young's speech of ten minutes in
defense of the raiders burned with elo-
quence in every word.
"You may hang me-" said he to the
counsel for the United States, "but my
death will be avenged in the best blood OF
New England"
The raiders were cleared by the evil
dence showing that it was an act of war
and with the money still in their possession
made their way back to the southern
| states
| Among those desperate raiders was Cap
tain Huntley of Georgia, who, with Colo
mel j. D. McGinnis of Mississippi, took
the money from the St. Adams bank Col.
onel McGinnis is here attending the re-
union, and his admirers say he is the gami-
est man in Mississippi and likely to be the
next governor of that state. Colonel Nc
Ginnis was induced to tell what happened
when he and Captain Huntley went into
the bank. He said:
"We went in and Huntley remarked to
the bank officials, 'We are from the con-
federacy and we'll just take charge of this
bank and run it, 1t was like thunder.
clap to the bank men. They never said a
word, but opened the vaults at our com.
mand.
II remember that it was my part tc
cover an old Irishman who was outside the

Choral Union.

Monday evening the Choral Union held
its FIRST meeting and rehearsal in the high
school building. The rehearsal was decid-
edly successful in every way and greatly
enjoyed by the 20 members present. The
new conductor, N. P. Coffin, of Newport,
N. H., was present, and his leadership
promises to be feature OF the seasons
rehearsals. He is stranger to many OF
our singers but may always be assured OF
a warm welcome here.
1t is early to consider his method of
conducting, but it was greatly enjoyed and
appreciated by the large number present.
He is so thoroughly in love and sympathy
with the work, and enters into it with such
zest and enthusiasm, that the singers are
fully aroused and moved to do their best.
But Mr.. Coffin is not believer in howl
ing" and does not sacrifice tone quality in
an endeavor to get volume. Clarence
Mooney Of Dartmouth College was accom-
PIANIST for the evening, and ably supported
the conductor and chorus.
The music taken up Monday evening
was as follows: Moonlight" by Fan
ing FESTIVAL Hymn" by Dudley Buck;
"Spring Song" by French. 1t is planned
to give concert in the spring and the
seasons work will be mapped out with this
object in view.
The next meeting will be held Monday
evening, December ~, at 7.45 in the high
school building.
