WOMAN WHO TAUGHT
FOR The LOST CAUSE
Woman Soldier Died and Was Buried
in the Prison Cemetery at Alton
in the Year 1882.
Montgomery Journal.

Montgomery Journal.
That the women of the South play
ed an important part in the war be-
tween the North and South is a bis
torical fact, too well known and appre-
ciated to need further comment; but
all the incidents displaying heroism
and courage and their wonderful self
sacrifice in the interest of the south
ern cause will never be told.
Even now when the years compos-
ing a half century have come and gone
new facts are brought to light. Only
day or two ago, a St. Louis dispatch
stated that the unmarked grave of a
woman soldier who wore the gray
and fought under the Confederate flag,
and who died from the effects of a
wound received in battle, is sought by
the Sam Davis chapter L. D. c., of
Alton, that it may be marked with a
tablet telling her heroic story.
Details regarding this southern wo-
mon soldier are meager, and much of
the information that has reached the
members of the Daughters OF the Con
federacy is mere hearsay. 1t is known.
however, by the records of the old
military prison in Alton that Barbara
Ann Duravan, a woman soldier, died
there and was buried in the prison
cemetery nj 1862 or 1863.
This fact was learned when an old
book of records belonging to the pris
on undertaken was given to the chap
The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1909-08-20

ter. This book contained about 600
names of prisoners, who were buried
in a period covering a part of 1862
and 1868. The name Barbara Ann
Duravan was among the number.
This much is accepted as the truth,
but on what foundation the story rests
that Barbara Ann Duravan was sup
posed to be man by her fellow sol
diers, and that the secret of her Sex
was not revealed until she was face
to face with death in the Illinois pris-
on, is uncertain.
1t is well that we have in the South
such a widespread and patriotic or
ganization as the Daughters of the
Confederacy, composed of the children
and grandchildren and great grand
children of the noble mothers who
sent their boys, and even their girls
to the battle fields to fight for cause
they deemed just and babe them God
speed 1t is well we have them, we re-
peat, to build monuments to those who
so unselfishly and heroically gave up
their lives, and to preserve is history
and in memory their deeds of daring
and devotion to hcme and to section
and country.
The Journal wishes the members of
the Sam Davis chapter, U. D. c., of
St. Louis, success in their effort to
locate the grave of Barbara Ann Dura-
van, who donned masculine attire and
concealed her sex, to fight for her
country, and We trust when it is found
that they will ask for contributions
from all over the South to build a
suitable monument to her memory.

JURY CONvicTS ARMY OFFICER
WHO KILLED HIS WIFE'S
PARAMouR,
FINDING UNEXPECTED
PENALTY MAY BE PRISON TERM
OF FROM ONE TO TWENTY
YEARS.

Flushing, N. Y-Capt. Peter C.
Hams. Jr., U. S. A. faces a prison
term OF from one to twenty years. De-
spite the testimony submitted by the
defense as tending to show insanity.
he was convicted Tuesday OF man
slaughter In the iirst degree for killing
William F. Annis at the Bayside Yacht
Club last August.
The conviction came as a surprise.
1t had been expected that a verdict Of
acquittal on the ground of insanity, or
a disagreement would result. No one
was more surprised than District At
torney Dewitt, who had said all he
could hope for was a disagreement
Quickly following Hams conviction.
his counsel declared they would pro-
duce affidavits to show that the jury
had not been properly guarded during
the trial and upon this allegation will
seek a new trial. These affidavits
will be submitted Monday, the time
set for passing sentence and for any
motion that the defendants counsel
desire to make.
There will, of course, be the usual
motions to set aside the verdict as
against the weight Of evidence and
contrary to law, but the unguarded
jury feature is the only departure from
the stereotyped procedure looking to
a new trial.
Daniel O'Reilly, of counsel for the
defense, said:
There was no evidence in this case
to warrant a verdict of manslaughter.
1t should either have been murder in
the first degree or acquittal on the
ground OF insanity. The jurors were
permitted to roam about the country
in an automobile. and go right to the
verge of the scene of the homicide.
which is clearly against the law. We
will have affidavits to prove that such
Is the case and also that the jurors
were permitted to leave the jurisdic-
ton of the county and have been on
government property at Fort Totten.
all OF which will be urged as ground
for setting aside the verdict"
Unlike the scenes attending the trial
OF Thornton Hams. the defendants
brother, who was acquitted of COM
plicity in the same crime, there was
no demonstration in court when the
verdict was rendered.
After the jury was discharged, Ju-
ror Craft said four ballots were taken.
On the first three ballots six voted
for murder in the first degree and six
for acquittal on the ground of insan-
ity. On the fourth ballot the COM
promise of manslaughter in the first
degree was reached.
Little consideration was given to
the expert testimony, Juror Craft said.
They believed, he continued, that Mrs.
Claudia Hams had confessed to her
husband regarding improper relations
with Annis and that Annis deserved
his fate. but none of them would con-
slider the unwritten law and therefore
the manslaughter verdict resulted.

was struggling for some word to say.
and at last.he broke out with:
"Aw now. lady, don't be t'rowin' de

The men in the little group on that
side of the senate chamber burst out
in laugh. but Burns becoming sud

the very midst of their mirth. The
group became silent.

she went on: If you will permit me,

ton permitting the women of Illinois

Slowly she seated herself again,
saying: will you sit down."
But Burns only stood and looked at
her. There was a trace of fear in her
face.
