CAUGHT JOHN BROWN
Capture Effected FDrty-four Years
Ago by Major Israel Greene,
Il Resident of Mitchell.

1t was Al years ago Sunday that
John Brown was captured at Harper's
Ferry, the Gate being Oct. IS, 1859.
Ihe mar who effected his capture is
now a resident of Mitchell, having
moved into this vicinity over twenty
years ago. The mans name. is Major
Israel Greene and although having
reached the three score and ten in his
life he is still hale and hearty and is
a good specimen OF we'll preserved
manhood. The Incidents OF the CAP
lure OF John Brown are still fresh in
his memory and he is always pleased
to relate the story Of the thrilling
capture, and in which he took a very
prominent part.
Major Greene, at that time, was an
officer of the marines, and was Sta
toned at Washington. After the raid
was made on the arsenal Oct. TO-.
1859, he was ordered to Harper's
Ferry to report to Col, Robert E.
Lee. who afterward became the great
confederate general. When John
Browns men came to town it stirred
up a great commotion. Troops were
summoned from the country around.
n the meantime Brown and his men.
after capturing a number Of the prom
lnent citizens Of the town to hold
them as hostages, b%arricaded them
selves in the old fire engine house,
Among those who were captured as
hostages was a Col. Washington, a
descendant Of the family of the faith
er OF his country. The troops sur
rounded the engine house and de-
manded Browns surrender, but it
was greeted with ieers from the de-
liant followers Of the old warrior. and
threats were made Of injury TO the
hostages if any violence was offered.
Major Greene. then a lieutenant.
was in command Of a detail of men
who were doing guard duty, and he
secured a ladder and with the as
sistance of several men used it for 2
gathering ram. AS the door started
to splinter and give way to the bat
tering the force inside opened fire on
the besiegers from without. Finally
a small panel gave way and a hole
large enough to admit a man was
made. Continuing the narrative in q
modest and ~unassuming n
Major Greene said: "Col. Lees re-
port to the government said T was
the first man in. The man who fol-
lowed me was killed as O as be got
through the door. Col. Washington.
one of the hostages, stepped up to me
and yelled IN my ear, pointing out
John Brown to me. i had my sword
praised IN the air ready to strike and
I Brought the fiat side down on
Browns neck with such force that
be was knocked to the ground and lay
there unconscious. He was then
bound and taken to. prison, and on
December 2 be was hung for treason
and murder at Charleston"
