AFTER THE REWARD
CLAIMING MONEY FOR CAPTUR
ING The CONFEDERATE
PRESIDENT.
Very interesting Story Told by john
Canm to Su5stantiate His
Claim.

New Orleans, La. Feb, John
Camm, eX-Union soldier, living in
Gretna, is preparing to file a claim for
reward for assisting in the capture
Of Jefferson Davis.
There remains in the United States
treasury an uneXpended appropriation
ef $1,o3o.3S for this purpose, and Mr.
Camm, who has already received one
payment for his services, believes
this money rightfully belongs to him
He has prepared his army records
and will file them.
He has all the credentials neees-
sary for complete Identification His
account of the capture of jefferson
Davis is of especial interest and ex
plodes the old tradition that the Con
federate leader attempted to escape
from the Union soldiers in his wifes
garb. Following is Mr.. Camm's ac
count
'It was, according to the best of
my recollection about the 7th of May
1865, when Joseph a. Oyeman, cap
ain Of the First Ohio calvary. and
twenty-eight Union soldiers of the
Fort Michigan calvary, We're detailed
to get information about, and if pos
sible, arrest jefferson Davis and all
those who We're with him. who, we
learned, were then in Macon. Ga.
We had captured some privates
end we We're out about two days when
We came in contact with the Federal
lines. 1t was a foggy day and the
Northern soldiers fired at sight of
our uniforms, killing and wounding
several men. We finally succeeded
in making ourselves known to them
and We're conducted to the headquart-
ers of Major-General Wilson, who
after close examination, allowed us
to proceed.
I'VE located Mr.. Davis camp on
the morning of May 10. There were
several persons up, and Mr.. Davis
himself was just preparing to go to a
spring nearby and get bucket of
water. He had on heavy raincoat.
as the weather was threatening, and
the coat was thrown over his head.
suppose that this accounts for the
reports that he tried to escape in his
wife's clothes. His wife was with
him at the time, but it was a mans
raincoat that he wore. Mr.. Davis
quietly submitted to the arrest as did
the whole of his party, and we return
I'd with them to General Wilson's
headquarters.
Mr.. Camm says that when the cap
turing party set out no one but Capt.
Ieoman knew its mission until after
they had marched a day or So He
drew up in line and said: Boys, we
are trying to captur Jefferson Davis.
He has about seven loads of gold
money with him, and we will share
i'll it if we get him."
After the war, in his career as
mate. Mr. Camm frequent
" passed the place where Mr.. Davis
was residing just below Vicksburg,
and became acquainted with his rela-
tives. He was afterward repeatedly
invited to Mr.. Davis home by them.
but was never able to accept the in
vitation. He with his wife went to
Mr. Davis funeral in 1888.
After steamboating for a number
of years he settled down at Gretna,
and was employed there as carpent-
er. He conducts thriving business
CT his own.
