it requested!
According TO those in close touch
with Mexican affairs. this is what Car
rama did mean. They contend that

WHO CAPTURED
Jefferson DAVIS?.
Premature Announcement of
Gen. Wilson's Death
Raises Question Anew
HIS CAVALRY
TRAPPED LEADER

A controversy over who captured
Jefferson Davis. president Of the Con-
federacy, has been reopened by the
premature announcement in a New
York newspaper Of the death of Gen
eral James II. Wilson. of this city
The New York Sun in an editorial,
today says:
The CaptOr of Jefferson Davis.
Our esteemed neighbor, the Evening
Post, printed on Tuesday this letter
from correspondent who disputed
the Posts reference to General James
Harrison Wilson as "the captor OF
Jefferson Davis"
THE Evening Post adds no distinc-
ton 10 the Generals noteworthy
career by speaking OF him as the
captor OF Jefferson Davis. A body
of cavalry under Lieutenant-C Colonel
Pritchard found Davis, Mrs. Davis
and some of their friends encamped
May 10, 1865, at Irwinville. Ca, and
captured them. General Wilson was
then at Macon.
"sILAS BENT"
The Evening Post is right, and Mr.
Silas Bent is wrong. Mr.. Davis wal
captured near Irwinville Court House
In Georgia. by a detachment OF Gen
eral Wilson's cavalry. The incident
was thus reported to Secretary Stan
ton by one Ulysses S. Grant in hi'
final report Of the military operation!
concluding the civil war:
"He (Wilson) took possession o.
Macon, Georgia. with sixty field guns
one thousand two hundred militia anC
five generals, surrendered by Genera
Howell Cobb. Gen. Wilson, hearing
that Jeff Davis was trying to max,
his escape, sent forces in pursuit anC
succeeded in capturing him on the
morning Of May H."
We suppose this testimony settles
the question Of phraseology raised b!
Mr.. Bent's letter.
By Secretary Stantons orders Mr.
Davis was taken TO Fortress Monroe
whittier General Nelson A. Miles hat
been sent TO take charge of the dis
tinguished prisoner. II is a somewha
singular fact that the two generals
chiefly concerned in the episode o
the capture and Imprisonment Of thu
President OF the Confederacy ar,
alive today and are among the yer!
few survivors who held high rank IL
