Interesting Records Found.

/. Attorney E. Holmes Boyd, of Wi
chester, in looking over the official re-
cords of the Civil War in the war de-
partment 1t Washington came across
copies of the orders that condemned
his cousin, John E. Boyd now of Mar
tinsburg, to death.
During the war Mr.. John E. Boyd
became noted as scout in the Confed-
crate Army and he had many exciting
adventures and hairbreadth escapes to
his credit. Mr.. Boyd belonged to the
First Virginia Cavalry. The incident
to which reference is made here oc-
Cured in January, 1865. Mr.. Boyd's
old home was at Bunker Hill, and he
had gone home to get a change of cloth
ing, General Sheridan and his forces
being at the time in Winchester Ne
groes informed Yankee soldiers of Mr..
Boyd's whereabouts with the result
that the scout, dressed in his Confed-
crate uniform, was arrested in the
Union lines and condemned to be
hung.
Mr.. Boyd was taken TO Winchester
and confined in a house near the BeI-
ryville turnpike pending the execution
of General She idan's order. From his
window he could plainly see the men
at work building the scaflold upon
which he was TO die an ignominious
death the next day. He was a man of
iron nerve, and his courage did not
once falter during the ordeal.
But death on the scaffold was not to
be his lot. Friends, including we'll
known Winchester lady, who is now
living in this city, interceded in his be-
half, aud the result was that General
Sheridan revoked the order condemn
ing HIM to death and instead SEN
fenced him to be confined in the mill
tary prison at Fort McHenry and re-
TURNED to his home after the Surrender
Advocate, The best part of the story
has been omitted in the foregoing mar.
atiVe. There were a number of other
confederate soldiers who came through
the lines with Mr.. Boyd who was cap
tured at his home where MIR. o. B
Lefevre now lives at Bunker Hill
When Mr.. Boyd was condemned the
offer was made to him that if he would
tell where they came through the lines
they would spare his life but he firmly
declined knowing that they only
wanted to know so they could condemn
the other boys
