Ga, some time ago, and while
in the Office in that city of Mr..

by asking for information about
"Lancaster's old jail" Mr.. bod
son then proceeded to relate to
Mr.. Riddle an incident of the
civil wal in which Lancaster's 5

speak. Mr.. Riddle requested

for there were many blue-cOats
butchered by our men of which
there never was any official cog
nizance, and the current report
among the Federals, that Wheel
er's Cavalry took no prisoners,
was well founded where certain
crimes were being committed.
Now, if there still fingers ia
the minds OF any of your Old
readers any prejudice against nay
Old command, | hope this true
story of how, if they could not
prevent, they often avenged foul
wrongs committed against your

Yesterday a lieutenant and

Nine of my cavalarymen were

stated, but by scouts command

ate courage. | have talked with
them several times about the
episode mentioned above, and
though they admit the killing OF
eighteen and more OF Kilpalrick's
men, they deny cutting their
throats.
The result Of the correspond
ence between Wheeler and Xii
patrick was that the latter, in
pursuance of his threat, had
eighteen Contederates confined
in the old Jail at Lancaster, con.
demned to be shot at sunrise the
next morning. Among these was
a member of my Company, and
he never tires of telling of this
rather "close call" This was
David Jennings, the only sur.
vivor of four brothers, who
enlisted in the Confederate Army.
AS Dave tells the story, after it
had been announced to them
that they were to be shot the
next morning, he addressed the
rest of his comrades in short
talk, telling them that he, for
one, did not care to be taken out
and shot like a dog, and since it
was death any way, he asked all
who were willing TO join him in
in an effort to overpower the
guard and make break for lib.
erty, to rise to their feet. AS he
describes the response, "as if
governed by one muscle" they

that he was IA Mason, and ask
ed if there were other Masons
present. Evidently he expected
in some waythis masonry would
protect him from the fate of the
others. Naturally, there was lit

men are not likely to sleep well
with deaih. apparently so near at
hand. The next morning, true to
their promise, the men were at
the door when the guard appear

TO swing open, Dave put his foot
in the crack so that it could not
be closed. The guard com pre-.

American minister, in protesting yes

beating Of native boy by adherents
of Raisuli, of which Mr.. Gummere was
an eyewitness, received most arrogant
