The Johnson City comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1916-1917, 1916-04-06

The Confederate flag, which faint.
ed its eolors from the top of the city
hall when Gen. Butler and his men
entered New Orleans in 1862, is now
the center of interest among Civil
war veterans in that city and Bos-
ton. 1t seems Gen. Butler ordered
the flag removed and subsequently
sent it to Boston as a war trophy.
The flag was put in the vault of Bos-
toms city hall. Re Gently the Ladies'
Confederate Memorial Association Of
the Crescent City made formal re-
quest of the mayor of Boston for the
nag. The story goes that the old
nag was about to be returned to New
Orleans in 1907, was taken from the
vault and nicely mended at a cost of
several hundred dollars, when the
doubt was raised as to its being the
actual flag taken from the city hall
which was the state flag, and this
controversy put a stop to the nego-
tlations for its return. The question
OF authenticity has now been some
what revived, but the flag. whether
state or otherwise, will probably be
returned either to the women or the
state.
