FROM A FRIEND OF JAMES.


10 rnf EDITOR OF TuE S~rN-Sir: 1t
Is not my purpose to defend The acts OF
Frank James at certain PEI ODDS of his
career further than to say, in justice 10
a lead man, that many of the aCCusa-
tons against him had no more basis in
fact than the charge made by Lieutenan'
Ray that the Union dead were scalped
after the fight at Cc%ntralia. Mo.
Major g. e. Rainwater and Major
James Banncrman OF the Confederate
service. both of whom were operating
about Centralia at the time of the fight
at that place and both OF whom were
at different times later regular Demo
cratic nominees for Mayor OF ". Louis,
have borne testimony to the fact that
no one was scalped at Centralia and
hat the fight was not In any sense a
massacre, az 1t has been termed by
o~verzealous Northern historians.
The truth of the Whole anair is
that Colonel Johnson. "A patriotic and
brave officer, who commanded the Union
forces on that memorable day. was with
out experience in warfare and suffered
on that account a crushing defeat. So
far as can be learned from reliable
authority. Johnson's command numbered
nearly 500 instead OF 400, as stated by
Lisutenan Mt Ray, while the enemy mus
tered less than 900. Colonel Johnson
