of offset to Arnods treatment Of the unlucky
Americans who met his forces along the banks
of the Connecticut Thames
Gen. Arnold had met Gen. Warren in the early
spring Of ITS and had formed strong personal
liking for him. When Warren was killed 1t was
found that he had left no means for the support
and education of his four children. Arnold be-
came deeply interested in the matter and brought
the childrens condition to the attention of the
continental congress- which promised to do some
thing for the little ones, but dilly-daled over the
matter. Arnold had an idea that the congress
might not act quickly and SO he wrote letter
of tender solicitude to Mercy Schollay, who was
caring for the Warren children, their mother hav.
ing died some time before. In this letter Arnold,
nearly impoverished himself, sent an order for,
$500 with instructions that he should be drawn
upon for more as soon as 1t was needed This
contribution of the traitor saved Elizabeth, Jo-
seph, Mary and Richard Warren from destitu.
ton. Arnold was not satisfied with this, but he
wrote squirting letters to Sam Adams and John
Hancock. OF the committee which had the pro.
posed congressional appropriation in hand. Then
he sent home some money and said Send Rich

future expense"

written to Miss Schollay lust before his treason.
He had sent more money and had congratulated
the children on the pros ect that the money from
congress would be peedily forthcoming. "a
country" said Arnc'a, should be ever grateful
to the patriot WI lays down his life in its de.
tense Greater love hath no man than this"
What surgins thought must have whelmed
this mans brain as he wrote these words That

of the Detroit surrender, state simply that Gen.
HulIs action was considered cowardly. The fact
that he was tried and sentenced to be shot for cow

Touching on the treason of Benedict Arnold,
there is little-known story which had for the
scene Of its action the four years of the war OF
secession. In response to the first call of Abra-
ham Lincoln for troops a young man appeared at
a Detroit recruiting Office and enlisted He went
to the front and in the course of six months was
made commissioned officer. He was of retiring
disposition, always courteous to his fellow officers
and just to his men, but he sought no close friend

command in order to have a more frequent hand
in the heavy fighting.
This soldier rose to the rank of major He
was offered at one time a colonecy. He declined.
He fought in every battle of the later Richmond
campaign and was in at the end at Appomattox.
