went with his company to Boston and
during the siege of that city by the
army under General Washington the
twenty-year-old boy was promoted to
be a captain for bravery and eni-
cheney.
When the British evacuated Bos-
ton and sailed for New York a greater
part of the American army went down
that way. Captain Hale and his regi-
ment were among them. They took
part in all the hardships OF that cam
paign.
Late in the summer of 1776, when
the British had driven the American
army from Long Island, General
Washington was particularly anxious
to establish some sort OF secret in
formation line into New York. He
tried many plans without success
Finally he summoned his officers to a
council and told them to be on the
lookout for some bright, courageous
man who would undertake the dan
gerous task. He spoke, among others,
to Colonel Knowlton of Knowltons
Rangers, the regiment to which Cap
tain Hale was attached
Colonel Knowlton conferred with
his officers. When he put the propo-
sition to them every cheek paled. II

all knew he would be hanged as a
spy. The word spy Is a horrible one
to an honorable man. No one volun-
teered to risk death of shame. For
a few moments there was hush in
the room Then Captain Hale walked
In and said:

Captain Hale had been sick In bed
for some time, and his fellow officers
crowded about him seeking to dis
suade him from his purpose Among
them Capt William Hull, classmate
of Hale's at Yale, spoke the longest
But the youthful captain could not be
shaken from his purpose.

Howe Immediately ordered that the
young patriot be hanged the following
day and turned him over to an officer
named Cunningham, the provost mar
shall.
That night Hale was kept IN soil
tary confinement. He begged to be
allowed to write letters to his mother
and Alice Adams. his sweetheart. in
New London. Cunningham furnished
him with paper and Ink and then de-
stroyed the letters in front of Hale,
saying:
THE rebels should never know they
had man who could die with such
hrmness."
Hale asked that a minister or a b.
Bile be sent to him. Both were refused
The only favor he received was being
allowed to rest in the tent of a young
British officer while on his way to his
death
Early on the morning of September
az, 1776, it was Sunday, Hale was con-
Quoted to the scaffold. Cunningham
cuffed him brutally and said:
Make your dying speech"
Hale had been praying He con-
tinued and when he had finished rose
to his feet and faced the crowd of
british soldiers and townspeople. In
loud, clear voice he said:
I regret that have but one life to
give to my country"

shouted, and thus died one of the most
heroic figures in our history.

New London went wild with excite
ment when the news Of the battle of

what that city should do in the war
Every man of prominence spoke and

been the most stirring OF the occasion,

worthy to rank with the greatest say

That is all the more remarkable

Nauvoo, Illinois, in 1874, just before
the exodus of the Mormons from tina,
place. His parents were natives of
America and joined the Church in the
early days of Church history. During
the troublesome drivings Of the
Saints and their journey to their
Mountain home the Lee family shai :
ed in the hardships Of the pioneers.
When they arrived in Utah they set
tied in Tooele where the young DAYS
OF Mr.. Lee were spent. When
young man he went back to the
tates and assisted in bringing emf
grants to Utahby team. He married
i.ucl eta Jane HiRley and to that
union came eleven children nine of
whom survive him. His good wife
proceeded him into the spirit world
twenty seven months ago, since
which time he has been very lonesome
He lived, after leaving Tooele, ut
Logan and assisted in building Logan
Temple, after which he moved with
his family to Oakley, Idaho, and be-
came a prominent figure in the de-
velopment of that section Of Idaho,
both in building line, in political
matters and religious work. He re-
manned in Oakley for twenty years
and then moved to Brigham where
he has lived for the past thirteen
years, with the exception of short
time at Parker, Idaho.
Mr.. Lee was carpenter by trade,
but about year ago he gave up the
work and has devoted his time to
drugiess healing. as he is a graduate
Of the American School of Mechanic
Therupy. He has done great deal
OF good in his work and his demise
will be a loss to many patients now
waiting his treatments. Mr. Lee
was also a gifted musician and did
