''is not without its obvious reason. II men

fined to the realm OF the senses, and their
religious convictions take the form of

CALLED By DEATH
S. E. Marshall, Civil War Vet
eran, Dies Suddenly.

An Old Confederate soldier. one OF
Stuarts cavalrymen and a stanch yir-
ginian. who held on doggedly TO the end
at Appomattox, died yesterday. He was
Sydney F. Marshall. one of the best
known or the older guard of lawyers in
the city, who was found stricken With
heart trouble in bed at his home. 110o
Seventeenth street northwest. at s o'clock
in the morning.
IN the Southern circles OF Washington
Mr.. Marshall had long been a familiar
and picturesque figure His mind was
rich with recollections OF the civil con-
fiict. He told with great zest how he
helped to throw a heavy chain across a
street in Baltimore to prevent the pass
ing OF the Sixth Massachusetts Regiment
as IL was marching 10 the seat OF war.
and how he crossed Chesapeake Bay 10
Westmoreland County in order 10 Join
Stuart's Cavalry. He fought at the bat
tie OF Yellow Tavern. where Stuart was
killed, and at the second Bull Run battle
with Stonewall Jackson. lie was with
Lee at the surrender at Appomattox.
Mr.. Marshall was born in Princess
Anne County. Va. slxty-nine years ago.
He was a great-grandnephew OF Chief
Justice Marshall and a cousin OF Col
Marshall. chief OF star TO Gen. Robert
r. Lee.
After the war Mr.. Marshall first prac-
ticed law in Baltimore. but shortly re-
moved to tho Capital. where no became
an authority on land law and built up
an extensive clientele. His wife died
some years ago. No children survive
him.
One OF the most interesting OF HIS
anecdotes dealt with his meeting with
John Wilkes Booth shortly before the
latter assassinated President Lincoln. He
was known 10 be q friend OF Booth, and
a few days after the tragedy Mr.. Mar
shall was threatened with a mob of
anti-Southern rioters IN the old Willard
Hotel. The proprietor managed 70 get
him out OF the hosiery by a side door
and thus prevented violence.
