Gen. Josiah Pickett. aged eighty-five
years. the only veteran OF the civil war
who has been under military arrest ever
since the war. is believed to be dying a his
home here. His record Is unique. Placed
under arrest by order of Gen. Stannard
just before the battle OF Cold Harbor and
Just previous to the gallant charge of the
25th Massachusetts in which 200 members
of the regiment were killed. Gen. Pickett
has felt 1t an honor to remain under ar
rest. During the lifetime OF Senator George
F. Hoar. a personal friend Of Gen. Pickett,
it was suggested that special act Of Con-
gress be enacted to expunge the record Of
arrest. Cen Pickett was always opposed
to this. He declared he wanted to die un-
der arrest. His wish Is pretty sure to be
granted
Gen. Pickett was arrested just before a
crisis at Cold Harbor. A misunderstanding
about orders caused difference Of opinion
between himself and Gen. Stannard. Gen.
then colonel Pickett remarked that when
he received orders he could understand he
would obey them. That remark caused his
arrest. Then came the battle of Cold Har-
Dor. Things looked bad for the Union
troops. and. forgetful of his arrest, Col.
Pickett jumped to the front OF his regi-
ment and led 1t through the battle. For
his conduct he was recommended for pro-
motion by the man who had ca used his ar
rest The arrest was forgotten. Col. Pickett
was made q general and today there are
few outside Gen Pickett's personal friends
and members of. the Grand Army here who
know that the arrest still stands

November q. 1922 When young he Joined
