When her financial condition became

While in London she wrote from

and Prison" 1t was published IN
London, in 1865, with an introduction
by a Friend Of the South" to whom
she had handed her manuscript for
suggestions as to its disposition.
Lieut. Hardinge was finally re-
leased and he rejoined his wife In
England. He died in 1859. Eventu-
allv Belle became an actress. She
married again. but in 1884 was d.
vorced. She was married a third
time, to a Mr.. High. at Detroit. Mich.
For several years she gave lectures

flowers are placed on her grave In

A wooden monument was at hrst
erected at her grave. but about five
years ago it was replaced by a gran
ite block bearing the inscription
aforementioned. About two years ago
a southern newspaper stated that the
matter of exhuming the remains OF
Belle Boyd and removing them to

asked to take the oath Of allegiance
to the United States government she
sent reply of defiance 10 Secretary
Stanton.
The first evening Belle spent in
this prison she sang very feelingly
Maryland, My Maryland" In fact.
she sang it every evening. and in a
way that touched the sensibilities of
those who did not sympathize with
the cause which inspired the song.
One day when the prisoners were
singing Maryland, My Maryland"
after Belle Boyd had left the prison.
one of the captives said:
You boys sing that we'll. but I've
heard My Maryland sung here in the
old building in a way that would
make you feel like jumping out
of the window and swimming across
the Potomac When Belle Boyd was
here I was on the same floor. She
would sing that song as If her very
soul was in every word she uttered.
1t used to bring lump up in my
throat every time hard it. 1t
seemed like my heart was ready to
jump out-as If could put my finger
down and touch 1t. I've seen men,
when she was singing, walk OF to one
side and pull out their handkerchief
and wipe their eyes, for fear some
one would see them doing the baby
act.
"She left soon after I came in. l
was glad to know that she was re-
leased, but we all missed her. Even
some Of the Yankees. although they
would not show it while she was here,
but when she was sent away they
missed her sweet singing-rebel
songs though they were. One of them
told me it made him feel sad to hear
her sing.
"And on Sundays. when there was
preaching down in the yard, she
would be allowed to come down and
sit near the preacher. II you could
only have seen how the fellows would
try to get near her as she passed.
And If she gave them look or a
smile it did them more good than the
preaching. You wouldn't hear q cuss
word from any of them for q week,
even If one of the guards would
swear at them or threaten them"
She aroused so much interest in the
prison that on several occasions there
was a conflict between the prisoners
and the guards. She has been de-
scribed as wearing during her impris-
onment pink muslin dress. She had
dark hair and sparkling black eyes.
and any one who knows how good
looking southern girls are Is able
to visualize the attractiveness of
Belle Boyd. Supt. Wood il reported
as having said:
Her face was not what would be
called pretty-her features indicated
drmness and daring. but her figure
was perfect, and splendid specimen

take a trip through the south. This
she did and received q great ovation.
She was called "the Virginia heroine"

"the child of the army"
At Knoxville she was serenaded by
the city band. The crowd called for
her. She appeared on a balcony and
made a few remarks. in which she
said. Like Gen. Joe Johnston. I can
fight. but I can't make speeches. and
thanked them for the compliment they
had paid her. The band then played
'Dixie" and Good Night"
At Charleston she dined with Gen.
Beauregard.
When the attack on Winchester was
being made. she was about four miles
away, mounted on a white horse. on
a high eminence. AS the report had
been circulated in the Federal army
that she invariably rode a white
horse, the Federal artillery fired upon
her and her companions.

~ after the battle Of Gettysburg, an
order was again issued for her ar
rest. When the soldiers came to take
her away, her mother was i'll, and her
father entreated them to permit her
to stay at home until her mother be-
came convalescent. His request was
granted and Belle was placed on pa
role. Sentries were stationed around
their house and orders we're given to
them, as Belle wrote, that they must
not let me come near them. for I
might give them chloroform or send q
dagger through their hearts"
She was again brought to Washing
ton, and this time was placed in Car
roll prison, in the room for disin-
guished guests" This was building
erected by Duff Green on the site Of
the Congressional Library. 1t had
formerly been used as q hotel, called
Carroll Place. Belle Immediately es-
tablished communication between her
room and the one adjoining, through
a hole in the wall made by the occu-
pants of the other room. The hole
was discovered, the occupants Of the
room removed to the one beyond, and
in the cell vacated by the men a wom-
an prisoner was put. Belle was al
lowed to visit this woman and talk
with her.
Belle at once bribed q sentry with
oranges and apples to lend her his
bayonet, with which she wrenched
of a board over the keyhole In the
door between the woman's room and
the mems room. The inmates Of the
three cells were thus enabled to pass

NN Sunday mornings Supt. Wood
" announced, "All you who want
to hear the word of God preached
according to 'Jeff Davis go down
into the yard; all you who want to
hear it preached according to Abe
Lincoln go into No. 16." The yard. of
course. was the popular choice.
Some civilians from Fredericksburg
were imprisoned on the third floor.
Above Belle Boyd's room was No. 10.
Some prisoners therein discovered an
opening in the floor and looked
through it to the room below. which
they learned was hers. They wrote
notes which they tied to a thread
and dropped them to her through the
hole. The prisoners in the room on
each side of hers scooped out the
plaster in the wall with 4 knife and
passed notes to her through the hole.
Supt. Wood did not discover these
holes.
Belle obtained large marble.
around which she tied note written
on tissue paper, and when the guard
the corridor. she rolled the marble
across the corridor through one of
the open doors into the room in
which were some Confederate pris-
oners, mostly officers. A note was
written in reply and the marble was
rolled back to her.
At first Belle was permitted to sit
outside Of her room in the hall. She
then posted q picture Of Jefferson
Davis in her cell and was locked in
for several weeks as punishment.
At an exchange of prisoners, she
was exchanged for Col. Corcoran Of
the 69th New York Regiment. and
sent to Richmond. When she left the
old Capitol prison. each Of the Con-
fsderate inmates gave her little
token Of esteem and endeavored to
obtain one from her. At Richmond q

One evening she was serenaded by

who was a prisoner in the old Capitol

her with a gold watch set with dia-
