HISTORICAL FAKES.
That Negro Baby That John Brown
"<issed" on His Way to GaIiows.

Ut VI the lSAFsdAi4st
There are certain historical fakes
such as Grants returning Lees sword at
Appomattox. the surrender under an
apple-tree," Ilncolns proposing to pay
for liberated slaves at the Hampton
Roads conference. etc-which may be re-
futed ever 90 often. and yet ever and
anon they will bob up serenely," be-
widely published. and find many interest
ed believers. One OF these is the story OF
John Browns kissing a negro baby on
his way 20 the gallows.
A recent version OF the story IS the pub
lication OF a correspondent who made n
journey TO the scene Of the execution at
CharlesiOwn. Jefferson county. w. Va.
In order TO search for the original Of that
historic 60 negro baby" and find out
what was the character OF the man into
whom the aforesaid baby had developed.
The correspondent seemed greatly sur
prised and shocked 10 discover that this
baby, who was so highly honored by
being caressed and kissed by the hero
martyr whom abolihondom has canon
lied as n saint. should have degenerated
into a lazy, worthless fellow.
Now. II seems almost a pity 70 spoil
this pretty story. over which poets and
romancers have raved. but it is due to

the truth Of history to say that the Incl
dent upon which il is founded never oc-
Cured and that the story is without the
slightest foundation I'm fact. Whatever
may have been John Browns inclinations
and desires. he had no opportunity of
kissing a negro baby on his way 10 the
galiows.
The proof Of this is abundant and over
whelming. but clear and conclusive refu-
tation of this. as we'll as other romances
about the execution Of Brown. may be
found in Southern Historical Society
Papers. volume Xiii, pp. 1882.

'AGanliness Of Christ" was guilty of the
blasphemy Of eXalting Brown 10 a place

jailer and eXecutioner of John Brown,
show the utter lack OF truth Of a number
OF these stories about John Brown. But |
trespass OH your space only 10 quote
what Mr. Avis says about his kissing the
negro baby. After stating that Sheriff
James w. Campbell and himself escorted
Brown from the jail, accompanied him

Avis contradicts 6mphatically several Of
the statements made by Mr.. Hughes. and
then says. under cath: THE statement
that he kissed a negro child In its
mothers arms is wholly Incorrect. No
thing of the sort occurred. Nothing Of

Brown when a baby. has been grossly
