CHAS. ASHBY TELLS
OF EXPERIENCE IN
SALISBURY PRISON
HIS CHOICEST MEAL WAS \
MULES EYE AND HALF \
CUP OF BEAN SOUP

Chas. q. Ashby Of this city has told
of some interesting experiences that
he had in Civil war times as a con-
federate prisoner. Mr.. Ashby was
born in England and came 10 the stale
of New York when boy of six 1t
required seven weeks for the boat to
GROSS the Atlantic. The trip was
made in October and Mr.. Ashby ate
his sixth birthday dinner on board the
vessel. The only thing that ne re-
members Of having for the dinner was
a good large piece of cake which he
had brought from England. This was
an unusual delicacy.
Mr. Ashby enlisted in the Sth New
York Heavy Artillery on July 3. 1863.
When he and his companions went in
to the service. however, they went as
infantry. Charles was under nineteen
years Of age by four months. The
first place the regiment went to was
Spottsylvania. other points where
the regiment saw service were Straw

burg, Jerusalem Plank Road. Belle

kept as nurse for three weeks Wei

and went 10 guard 35, 600 wagon

While in one of these battles Mr..
Ashby with about 5000 other soldiers
was taken prisoner and sent to Castle
Sunday on the outskirts Of Richmond
Virginia. This was distributing sta
ton and the prisoners were sent To the
confederate prisons from there. Mr..
Ashby was committed to Libby Prison
From there he was later sent TO Belle
Isle for a few weeks and then taken
TO Salisbury where he was confined for
four months. At the expiration Of
this time Sherman came within thirty
miles of the prison and the confcdcr-
ate officers opened the gates OF the
prison and told the prisoners to flee
up the railroad tracks. Many OF them
went out, as il meant liberty, but hun
dreds Of them were so weak that they
could not walk Mr.. Ashby was one
Of the number that remained. Dur
ing the four months while Mr.. Ashby
was in Salisbury 10000 men had been
committed to the prison but less than

tells some of the following: The men

lie dug a hole down near the edge Of
the river. and I'm fact within the
swampy bank themselves. The dirt
was carefully distributed on the tops
of the little cistern holes within the
! prison so that the officers would not
detect the mans intentions He then
1 climbed into the wet hole and had his
companions cover him with dirt and
waterweeds. He intended. when night
came. to dive out under the stockade
and swim the river. Almost inn
mediately across from the stockade
was an island. Around it's banks
were chained hungry bioodhounds.
Should a man attempt TO swim the
river the hounds would swim after
/ him and If the man came within their
reach the dogs would have good
dinner. The man who expected 70
es capped pondered in his mind all day
thoughts OF being eaten by the blood
hounds and concluded that if he
should chance TO drift close enough
to the hounds the attempt would even
then be worth the hazard.
The officers called the roll every
morning and on this particular morn
ing they missed the man who had
oeen secreted away. DNigent search
was made but they could not find him.
As it was nearing night the officers
went to the waters edge and after
probing around in the weeds a few
minutes found the prisoner. Before
they secured him in chains the man
snapped revolver in their faces five
times. The sheiis were so wet how
ever, that they would not explode and
the man was taken
only few minutes after the cap
ture one OF the prisoners appeared
with two loaves OF bread. lie had
betrayed his fellow prisoner in the
hole for the bread The betrayer did
not leave the prison that night, but
the next morning not a sign Of him
could be fodnd, Even his bones were
so completely secreted away that they
were never found. The prisoners
were confident that the man had been
eaten by the friends OF the man who
expected 10 escape.
Mr. Ashby has lived in Bedding and
Orleans township for the past 3S
years Most Of that time he owned
farm on the south bank Of Long
Lake He sold the farm twelve years
ago to W. +. Rricker and took pro-
perry in Bedding in on the deal. While
on the farm he brought the land up
To such a high state Of cultivation that
il would produce 1876 bushels of corn
per acre
Mr.. Ashby has several dishes that
are over century old owned by his
great great grandparents He also
owns surveyors chain that his faith
er used when he was surveyor in
England. The chain is marked at
different points with old English
money.

The prison had formerly been a
cotton factory. Several buildings sur

twenty feet in height all around the
buildings. The trees were sharpened
on the top ends. ON one side Of the
prison was river A portion OF il

stockade and the men were permitted
TO wash their clothes in the waters Of
the river They were also required to
drink the water from the same stream.
Besides, 1t was used as the common
sewer for the whole prison.
The men were fed bacon and soup
once a day. They were divided into
squads Of fifty each and their rations
We're distributed To them by a prison
official The bacon was brought into
the squad after il had been cooked in
the bean or rice soup. 1t was laid on

select one of the number to assist him
in dividing the meat so that everyone
would have an equal chance OF seCur-

Miss Margaret Anglin in Shakes
pcarean Repertory.
At the Belasco.

Surrounded by a remarkably
poised and excellent cast, Miss Ang-
lin, as an actress manager, achieved
last evening at the Belasco the most
artistic presentation of Twelfth
Night" given within the momory of
playgoers of our day. The produc-
ton was remarkable for the beauty
of its scenes and costumes; the
smoothness and swlftness of its
movement, as well as for artistic
and convincing characterizations,
presented, without exception, by
both Miss Anglin and her company
of Shakespearean players.
Miss Anglin's Viola proves cap
tivating medley of clever and ab-
sorbing romance; almost human,
and consistently feminine despite
the disguise of doublet and hose
more than ever one of the most
charming and capricious of Shakes
peare's women as nodded by the
brain and heart of an actress than
whom there is none who has great
er mastery of the lights and shad-
ows of dramatic expression.
Not only does Miss Anglin de-
serve the highest praise for the
color and romance with which she
imbues the characterization in her
own hands, but also for the care she
has taken and the generosity she
nrs displayed in the selection of her
company.
Tomorrow night, Friday night,
and Saturday matinee the actress
manager will present Gas You Like

day nights "The Tanning of the

THE SECOND SETBACK.
Patrons of Bill Have Little Hope of
Passage, But Expect to Force Re-
corded Vote in Both Houses.

Richmond, Va, Feb 17.-Woman
suffrage received its first blow last
night, when the House Committee on
Privileges and Elections reported the
joint resolution amending the State
Constitution concerning the elective
franchise and qualifications for office
with the recommendation that it 20
not pass. Two years ago a similar
resolution was offered by Mr.. Monta-
que, Of Richmond, and received the
same treatment at the hands of the
committee. This session the joint res
iolution was brought in by
Messrs. John W. Chalkley,
Of Wise; Hill Montague, of Roanoke,
and A. 7. Lincoln, Of Smyth.
It's patrons had little hope Of its
passage. either in the comrittee o.
in the house. but expect to force a
recorded vote in both branches. 1t is
their claim that the movement for
equal suffrage is steadily gaining
ground. and that by another session
the sentiment for such an amendment
to the Constitution will have reach
ed irresistible proportions Since 1912,
It is stated, four states have come in
to the suffrage ranks, making ten
in which the women vote, with four
or five others in which the prelmin-
ary srens have been taken For con-
stitutional amcn5ments.
Advocates of the bill before the
committee stated very frankly that
the only choice the General Assembly
and people Of Virginia had in the
matter was to enact suffrage
amendment to the State Constitution
now. or have it forced upon them
through the amendment to the Fed
eral Constitution within a few years.
The contention evidently did not I'M
press the committee. The vote was
taken in executive session, and it was
not statet how many advocates, II
any. were recorded for suffrage In
the committee.
