The cap- tain xt headquarters said he would have sent the letter himself ifhe had been asked. I was as soon as I got the letter, sol think I must have had a game put up on me. When I was released the tol- lowing March by Provost Marshal Hill I was informed there were no charges against me. From all of which it is plain that Crenshaw was arrested for the sole purpose of robbing him, his life val- ued only for what could be got out of him in the way of bills of sale. bills of sale for my fifty-eight mules, one hundred cattle and thirty hogs, Colonel Van Horn became provost marshal and all the prisoners were turned over to him except me, and I was placed on the back seat of an army ambulanee and carried back to Independence by Plumb and four or five others, allriding alongside with cocked pistols in their hands. I thought I was going to be killedand I did not say a word. Once the am bulance stopped and Plumb and the others rode on ahead, and when some distance away stopped and talked awhile. They wanted me to jump and run, I think, so they would have an excuse for shooting me; but I sat still, and after awile they came back and the ambulance moved on. Plumb looked at me so threateningly that I did not dare to say anything to him. I could al- most fancy I felt his bullet going into my shoulder-blade. When I got to Independence my eyes were so sore I was taken to the hospital, and while I was there I sent for Major Plumb to come and see me. He seized almost Bill Nye Indorses Colonel New. Referring to politics in Indiana, I have taken the precaution to furnish the following letter of introduction to Colonel John C. New, so that he will hardly have a chance to feel lonely while in London: “Mr. A. E. Guelph, Room 18, Marl- {borough House. “Kokomus, Ind., March 20.— Dear Prince: This will introduce to your notice my friend, Colonel John C.

I had proposed what I did in hope of getting out of his hands. saw him any more.” Should the queen ever play old sledge at eventide she will find Colonel New an excellent partner, yet always keenly alive to the importance of turning a jackat the proper time. “Colonel New is a scholarly man yet withal simple and unassuming in his manners. He is the most democratic republican I ever knew. I would like to impress on you also the importance of cultivating friend- ly diplomatic relations with him. He is the editor of the Indianapolis Journal, a paper whose friendship means a great deal to a rising young prince.
