As he rode by one James Farr of the Maryland Militia he is said to have called the man a coward and run him through with his sword. John Farr, brother of the slain man, was standing a few feet away. He promptly raised his rifle and killed Braddock. Such was the statement made by James Moore Davis, a veteran of the Bracdock defeat, who died in Ohio in According to the version Col. Beall cbtained from Ohio relatives, James Davis a few days befcre his death called to him his youngest son, Amos, and told him there was a secret he had harbored for more than Ti ars which he wished to tel', “because the party most interested in all probability is beyond the reach of military court- martial and legal tribunal.” Davis’ story was that he had marched in the ranks of Capt. Ware's company accompanying Braddock on the Western expedition. Was in Rear Rank. “When the batlle started, I was in ulxehrelr rank. James Farr was on my right. Davis told his son. “When the com- pany was cut to pieces by hidden fire from the Indians, it was every man for James Farr stepped behind a tree, and was about to reload his musket when Braddock rode along, called Farr e coward and ran his sword through him. John Farr, the surviving brother, pointed the muzzle of his gun almost in the face of the general and fired.” Gen, Braddock had been obstinate in insisting that both the British and American troops conduct Indian warfare in close-ranked, wave-line formation, contrary to the precepts of all experi- enced frontiersmen. Wills De Hass’ “History of Western Virginia and the Indian Wars,” pub- lished in 1851, Col. Beall points out, speaks of a resident of Uniontown, Pa. known as Tom Fausett, who hesitate to own that he shot Braddock.” His story was that “regardless of Brad- cock's positive and foolish order that troops should not post themselves behind trees Joseph Fausett (or James FarT, Col. Beall believes) had so posted himself, which Braddock discovering popes were chasen by | rode up and struck him down with his sword. Tom Fausett, who stood but a | short distance from his brother, saw | the whole transaction, and immediately | threw up his rifle and shot Braddock.” {GOV.
