Deserter's Story Preserved in Stone

IDENTIFY been used to chronicle the his
tory Of John Nair's shame. The stone
Is Of strange oblong shape, about ten
inches at its greatest length and sew
en- inches across. Its thickness Is
about three inches. The inscription
covers three-fourths Of the smooth
face of the stone. and the lettering is
wonderfully plain. The letters are
uniformly an inch high and an eighth
Of an inch deep.
Among the hundreds Of persons
who have viewed the tablet in a CEN
trail city display window, there is no
doubt that the inscription is genuine.
The letters are the same color as the
stone. q light brown, and there Is a
suggestion Of freshness. It Is gener-
ally believed that the carving was
done soon after the historic incident
mentioned In the inscription. II Is
peculiar coincidence that Sherer made
his discovery almost on the ami
versary OF the battle Of Brandywine.
The battle was fought Sept. II, 1777,
1874 years ago.
II is thought that John Nair, de-
serter from the continental army, jour
neyed northward toward the Connec-
ticut settlements and stopped to rest
under the tree. In those days the
nearest settlement to Rattlesnake
Pond was historic Wyoming, about rs
miles to the south. and this region
was a wilderness. In the quiet Of the
forest the fugitive probably yielded to
a gnawing Of conscience and wrote his
confession upon the tablet. Whether
20 lived to tell 1t with his lips will
probably never be known.
