A COmrade Says That He Was There
1SRa-S

Editor National Tribune: In The Ma

count of Bishop McCabe's death you
say: I'm the disastrous affair at Win
chester in June, 1868, DIR. McCabe re-
manned with the wounded, caring for
them, and was captured and sent to
Libby Prison, where he remained four
months"
In the battle of second Fair Oaks,
Oct. %. 1864, while in command of the
92d n. Y, ] was wounded in the right
shoulder with canister shot, left on the
field, supposedly dead. but taken from
the field to Libby Prison, where for
several weeks my life was despaired of,
but in due time L began to improve, and
was paroled Feb. 20. 1865. During the
months of December, ga, and January,
'65, Chaplain McCabe being a prisoner,
tho on partial parole, came to the pris-
on hospital, and held conversations and
prayer meetings about weekly with the
hospital inmates.
Chaplain McCabe was in this village,
Warrensburg, in November, 1904, to
assist in the dedication of a newly
erected NJ. f. church, where I had the
pleasure Of conversation with him. He
distinctly remembered me in the Libby
Prison, and exprest surprise at my still
living.
For the confederation Of my state
ment of Chaplain McCabe's frequent
visits to Libby Prison in the Winter of
1s64-5 I respectfully refer you to Capt.
G. w. Kilmer. of the 142d Pa, Towan-
da, Bradford County, Pa, who was
in the prison with me, paroled and ar
rived at Annapolis, Nd, on Feb. %,
1865, with the other inmates Of Libby

ties, and is now, at the age of As, one
of the leading members of the Boston
City Council He conceived the idea
of closing the bloody chasm by a for
NAL return of the flag by the city of
Boston to the city of New Orleans, and
in this plan he was actively aided and
abetted by Councilman Thomas F. Do

the Council of New Orleans for the re-
turn of the flag, and the matter pro-
passed to return the flag with mes

Next was raised question as to the
real history of the flag, and it develops
that ii was one which had been made
at great expense and labor by the
women of New Orleans for presentation
to Beauresard's army July 4, 1862. 1t
seems that Butler found the flag con.
cealed under the pillow of a profess

Editor National Tribune: In July,
1861, the c. G. o. Canal was open from
Georgetown TO Seneca, and was used
to transport supplies to the army sta
toned along the eastern slope of South
Mountain, Maryland Col Stone, West
Pointer directed the movements. Capt
Smead, also a West Pointer with about
Is men, National Rifles, was encamped
near Poolesville, Nd. One day the writ
er was guard at the tent of Col. Stone,
and a slouchy-looking man, supposed
to be rebel spy, was brought in. do
you know, sir, what IS done with a spy
in time of WARP" said Col. Stone. AL
most collapsing as he faced the gleam-
ing bayonet of the guard, he managed,
after a time, to stammer that he was
owner of the farm where he was
caught; didn't suppose any harm would
come IL he minded his own business;
stayed because he didn't care to run.
like his neighbors, before there was
any danger, and then when it was too
late he couldn't get away, but was
hemmed in before he could wink his
eye. He was handed a safety order or
pass and was released. Just after Col.
Stone, as If to himself, said: II would
hate to hang dog, but If he had been
a spy An officer must do his duty"
He made few notes, offered his hand
with thanks and was gone. In a few
days the National Rifles. ordered to
Washington, were paid off for the full
term of their enlistment, three months,

manned to complete it. From the time

1T was passed by vote of 81 to %.
Then an order was introduced to pay
the expenses from the Aldermen's Cen.
tinsent Fund, which is under the con-
troll of the Aldermen alone, and was
passed without a roll-call. Then the
matter went into the municipal cleo
ton and the men who had voted for the
junket We're arraigncd, and this made
one of the reasons why they should not
be reelected. The Citizens Committee
took up the matter and made vigorous
overhauling of the advocates of the
junkct in little leaflets setting forth
not only their vote on that matter, but
upon other unworthy measures. The
matter assumed such a shape finally
that the Mayor decided TO veto the res
olution it If should come before him,
and so 1t stands at present, and proba-
bly, the flag will continue to grace the
walls of the City Hall, altho its his
torical interest has been pretty badly

1T makes no difference to us wheth-
er the flag floated from the flagstaff of

be returned to the representatives of

Il see by the papers that your Mayor
says that there is no interest in the re-

Mayor Behrman of this city as his au-
thority for this statement. Permit me
to say to you that if Mayor Behrman
ever said anything of the kind he spoke
without authority. and we will show
you gentlemen from Boston that there
is sentiment here for that glorious old

the flag which had been hauled down
from the public building, and it had
no historical interest to them. Thomas
p. Thompson, who Is an authority on
New Orleans history, denies that the
flag had any official connection with .hc
Southern Confederacy, and SAYS:
THE people of New Orleans have
taken little interest so far in this mat
ter, and it is only to smile when the
posthumous authority of Butler is cited
to controvert case that the noble Far
raSut had already fixed and settled in
his correspondence as recently pub
lished by his son. BY the way. to the
credit of Butler. he does not say in his
own book that this flag noated over our
City Hall.
There is quite a difference between
the return of flag captured in honor
able battle and the opening of an old
wound in this doubtful fashion. His
tory should be truthful. Our people
are good patriotic American citizens.
and no Boston man loves the flag of
our common country more than we. but
to revive unpleasant recollections on
such fimSy grounds is hardly worth
the candle

question be furled, for 'Hs weary and

Associated Press to The Evening" Times.
New York, May 28.-There were de-
velopments of moment tonight in the
investigation recently begun by Com
missioner Bingham to determine what
part was played by certain members
of the police department in the do
mestic troubles of Mr.. and Mrs. How
ard Gould. In papers served a few
days ago upon counsel for her hus-
band. indicating Mrs. Gould's purpose
to institute suit for separate mainten-
ance, it was alleged that there had
been a conspiracy against the plain
tiff, in which high officers of the police
department were involved.
Lieut.. William Frank Peabody, who
with Capt. formerly inspector) Will
liam F. Mclaughlin, had been fire.
quently mentioned in the case, met by
appointment an official high in the
police department, and, according to
the latter, made a clean breast of his
connection with the Gould affair.
Peabody admitted that he had
worked for several weeks on the
Gould case, not only in this city, but
in Washington and in Baltimore, and
that he sent the telegram to Edward
Sholes in this city on March 26, in
which woman named Harriet Ions
dale was reported married to a man
named George Dawson.
Commissioner Bingham has sought
to determine the author of this mes
sage, which. it has been intimated,
grew out of a search of marriage rec
ords, through which it was sought to
establish that Mrs. Gould, while still
Katherine Clemmons, the actress, had
married one George Dawson.
Peabody said he was called into the
private Office of Inspector Mclaughlin
at police headquarters early in March
last, when Mclaughlin told him to
bring in "Big Bill' Hawley. Peabody
said he went out to get Hawley. but
learned Hawley was out of town. Ten
days later Hawley returned and Pea
body said he asked Mclaughlin if
Hawley was then wanted. Peabody
said Mclaughlin told him not to both
er about Hawley, but to locate Edward
Sholes.
Peabody later saw Sholes and told
him that Inspector Mclaughlin wished
to see him at police headquarters.
Subsequently, Peabody said. McLaugh-
lin. Hawley, Sholes and he went down
to De Lancey Nicoll's Office.
Peabody said he took three days off
and on March 23, under instructions
from Mclaughlin and Nicoll, and also
under implicit directions from Sholes,
with the later went to Washington and
thence to Baltimore. Sholes stayed
in Washington and arranged to COM
municate with Peabody in Baltimore.
While in Baltimore Peabody said he
searched the records of the bureau of
vital statistics in that city for the rec
ord Sholes had indicated to him as
nearly as Sholes could recall the
names. The search resulted in Pea
