Tempers were frayed, fam
lilies divided and, with the
capital full of spies, every
one became a suspect.
One morning a band of
Federal detectives invaded
the Phillips home. Every one
present, including P hilip
Phillips, was placed under
house arrest. But the chief
target was the mistress of
the household. The govern
ment men remained guard
ing the house inside and out
side. Phillips was soon re-
leased, but his wife Eugenia,
her two daughters and sister
Martha were removed to the
attic of another house, the
home of a fearless, ingenious
Confederate spy, the notori-
Gus and fascinating Rose A.
GreenhoW.
The intercesSion of Edwin
M. Stanton, later Secretary
of War in the Lincoln cab
met, Justice James M.
Wayne of the US. Supreme
Court, and Reverdy Johnson,
Representative from Mary
land, brought about their re-
lease.
The Phillips family set out
on their journey overland to
distant New Orleans. The
story of the Federal deten.
ton had gotten through the
Confederate lines. In many
places the family was toast
ed and honored, people lis
tening open-mouthed to their
treatment by the Federals.
In Richmond, Mrs. Jefferson
invited Eugenia to spend a
pie ant evening at the
White House. The family fl
nally reached New Orleans,
expecting quiet, peace and
safety in the largest and
richest city of the Confed-
eracy, far away from the
booming cannon.

One of the great American
lawyers of his time, Philip
Phillips, was born in 1907
in Charleston. He attended
the private school of Isaac
Hardy, the critic, playwright
and journalist who started
the first Reform in Ameri-
can Judaism. When fifteen,
he entered the Military Acad-
emy of Middleton, Conn.,,
which was highly esteemed
in the South. 1t is possible
that those three formative
years influenced him for life.
At no time during the wild
est hySteria did Phillips ever
waver in his set conviction
that nothing could ever justi-
fy the secession of a State
from the Federal Union.
lie practiced law, served
two sessions in the General
Assembly and married in
Charleston the high spirited
16-year-old Eugenia Levy.
The couple then settled in
Mobile, Ala, and Philip was
elected to Congress. Living
in Washington opened a new
vista. He refused the unami-
nous denomination for a
second term.
The future seemed clearly
chartered. Washington Of
fered the best arena for his
abilities. Here he could be a
lawyers lawyer representing
brother attorneys through
out the land having cases in
the Supreme Court. But day
by day the political situation
was getting darker. The elec-
ton of Lincoln was followed
by the secession of the
Southern states. Then came
the attack on Fort Sumpter,
the defeat at Bull Run with
the danger of Washington
falling to the Confederates.

we can only wonder at the
cause of Eugenia's arrest
and rough treatment. Was
she a spy or agent for the
Confederacy? There were
men who did not hesitate to
serve their native Southland
by espionage. Like the dare
devil Rose GreenhoW, Eu-
genia was high spirited and
ardent to the point of hys-
terra in her Southern devo-
ton. Both women were
friends and knew how to out
wit their guards.
While Eugenia was pack
ing for the Journey South,
Mrs. Greenhow passed es-
corted by two soldiers. She
threw a ball of yarn into the
Phillips home, remarking
quite casually that the ladies'
The Arizona post., 1961-06-09

would like to finish their
knitting with the yarn they
left at her house. Eugenia
delivered the ball to Jeffer-
son Davis; it contained a
message in code.
New Orleans was taken by
Commodore Farragut and
placed in charge of General
Benjamin Butler, a cruel,
profane, incompetent and de-
ceitful vulgarian, who stop
ped at nothing to achieve his
purpose. Eugenia Phillips
remained indoors. Remem-
bering the sufferings she
had undergone in Washing
ton, she refrained from any
act that might bring on the
hated enemy. But she could
not hold out for too long.
One morning a soldier

Eugenia somehow survived
brain fever and after several
months was released. On
reaching home, the servant
closed the door in her face
and fled, believing she saw
the ghost of her mistress.
Eugenia entered, began
screaming, fell down uncon-
scious and suffered a nerv-
Gus breakdown.
Such a price she did not
consider too high to pay for
her loyalty to the Confed-

Justice William ]. Bren-
nan agreed with part of
Chief Justice Warren'S rul-
ing but not with other parts.
A basic case in the decision
involved five Orthodox Jew
ish residents of Pennsylva-
mia. They contended that

The effect of the ruling
was expected to be one of
strengthening the anti-Sun-

of the many states which
have controversial blue

Justice noted that such laws

Martins touch certainly helped
make The UntouchableS famous, and
then he moved out while at the top.
Naturally. he had in mind another
series, one which would deal this
time with anti-violence, differing
from The Untouchables.

hoped to come out with an anti

writer to find something close to 1t,

All this came about when L. AS
Police Chief Parker was hired back
in 1899. Beset by budget problems.
Chief Parker decided to recruit quail
ity and get along with a minimum
of men. This Commando group was
comprised of the top five per cent
of the force and they were trained
to work in all fields-vice, homicide,
dope etc. There's a Captain on the
squad who has a Masters Degree in

he couldn't shoot during peak traf-

jam on a freeway section that hadn't
been opened yet to traffic.

the show a great deal, but not with
us. We want to really show off the

Latin America Joins US. Citizens To Buy Tractors
By Lewis Guile

WASHINGTON R Fund raising groups in more than half the countries of Latin America have joined U. s. citizens in eff forts to buy tractors to ransom 1,200 rebel prisoners held by Cuba.
 This is part of evidence reach ing Washington that Cuban Prime Minister Fidel Castro has suf- fered serious propaganda set back as result of his offer of tractors for prisoners.
 Other evidence comes from com ments by Latin American news papers and public speakers which are in striking contrast to the tr e m of anti-U. s. utterances received here many times in the past.
 The 10 prisoners Castro paroled a week ago to arrange a deal in the United States flew back to Havana Saturday.
 They carried a message from a U. s. committee promising to sup ply the tractors if Castro frees the captives.
 However, the group headed by labor leader Walter Reuther, Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt and Dr. Milton s. Eisenhower, brother of former President Eisenhower, wants to send a technical com mittee to Havana to work out de- tails and obtain assurances that the prisoners actually will be re- leased.
 Castro has yet to reply to a telegram sent early last week con- taining the Reuther groups ac- ceptance.
 In Detroit, headquarters of the Tractors for Freedom Committee, contributions to the tractor fund are beginning to come in, but have not been totaled.
 Reuther, president of the Unit ed Auto Workers, told a Phila- delphia audience the committee had received two $25,000 con- tributions.
