JEFF DAVIS GARB.
Apparel in Which He Tried to Escape
g, Discovered.

jeff Davis feminine garb, the water
proof cloak and shawl, together with
the spurs which he wore when cap
tured near Irwinsville, Ga., following
the downfall Of the rebellion, were dis
covered recently at the bottom of an
old iron safe in the office of the secre-
tary Of war. Fred w: Carpenter, Sec
retary to Taft, unearthed them while
doing little spring house cleaning
They were packed in a sealed tin dis
patch t. where they had rested ap-
parantly undisturbed for no one knows
now many years. That they are the
verltable garments which Davis threw
about him that rainy morning 43 years
ago, when essaying a dash through the
Gordon of the Fourth Michigan cavalry
that surrounded his camp, is proved
by documents in the box. Those docu-
ments account for every detail OF the
::=!.c7y Of the waterproof cloak, the
shawl and the SPURS from the posses
sion Of Davis Into the keeping of the
var department. They also serve to
set at rest the controversy that has
cropped up at intervals since the war.
Cne of he documents is a copy of a
letter written by the former head of
the confederacy, in which is made spe-
cidc mention of the waterproof or
raglan" as he calls it, and of the
shawl. Fruitless inquiries have been
made at intervals by historians and
others as to what became of the water
proof, the shawl and the spurs. 1t
was known that they were turned over
to the war department when Davis was
brought from Georgia to Fort Monroe,
