ed at his. home in New York by

General Sickles did not have to go
to JAIL because his counsel furnished
a bond of 100000 When the officers
entered the generals home they found
the old warrior sitting in front OF a
desk
Hardly had the formalities of the
arrest been completed and the sheriff
walked down the steps Of the old Fifth
avenue home than there confronted
the old colored servant of the gen
erals the son of the warrior. Stan
ton. and his mother. They demanded
an audience. The keeper of the outer
portals disappeared into the gloomy
halls of the big house. Presently he
was back again with the word that the
general would not see his wife and
son The two swung upon their heels
and went back to the Hotel Albert.
Stanton said: The whole affair will
be Strengthened out very soon. When

Counsel for General Sickles, Dan P.
Hays, telephoned the sheriff's office
that he had procured a bond Cor his
clients release. Thereupon the sheriff
thrust his papers into his pockets and
hastened to the Sickles residence.
When the sheriff arrived at the house
he walked up to the veteran and said:
Il am very glad to see you. gen
eral."
"And l." said the general, cour.
teously, "am glad to see you. Did You
receive the letter sent you-the one
from Mrs. Longstreet?"
The sheriff said that he hadn't re-
ceived any letters from Mrs. Long
street. and the general thrust forward
telegram. It read as follows:

'My soul is sorrowed by your trou-
bles. Am wiring the attorney general
