Pritchard For a moment he thought of fighting his way through the ensmy cordon or givinz up his life in the effort. Fe changed hs mind, however. and submitted to his ean- t'rs, who eonducted him to, Macon and thera turned him over fo Gen. James H. Wilsen. the highes:t United States officer in this regton. The journcy to Macon was made un- pleasant by the jecrs of the captors and by the exhibition to the cariy of Pres- dent Jounson’s manifesto. But Davis re- [ thaf it was the hand of an old P axd polltical enemy. From Macon Mir. Davis was sent to Augusta, Ga., where Vice President Ste phens joined the party as a captive, Mrs Davis and her chiliren accompanied the prisoner. After some davs spent on a ship Stcphens was sent to Ft. Warren in Boton harbor and Davis was plac in a casement in Fortress M-nroe.

Day were allowed rooms in Carro!l Hall. lly, in the summer of 1856, and his family wers reunited and Finally the charge of cinnection in the assassi-ation af Lincoln fell (o the ground and then the pelicy of proceeding on the charge of treason was taken up. Foth the President and General Grant cirpsed the plan of a trial on this charge. On May 4. 1867 Davis was copducted te Richmend where his case was to be heard. Tie followirg day he was set free en & bond signed by Horace Greeley, Ger- ritt Smith and other former tpponents of the south. The released Drisoner at once went to Canada to meet his family and others, whom the fortunes of war had driven into exile. \ In October Davis was again summened to anpear in the United States court at Richmond. The indictment that drawn un ggainst him was briefiy, as fol- Jows. “Jefferson Davis, late of ihe ity of Richmond, yeoman, being an inhabit- ant and residing within the United Siates of America with force of arms levied and ecarried on war insurrection and rebellion against the Unfted States and with a great multitude of person: whose names are to the jurors unknown, to the number of 500 persons and upward, arrayed In a warllke that e t say—with cannon, muskets, stc. levied and carried on the conflict osntrary to the duty and allegiance and fidelity of th said Davis against the Constitatdon, etc.” When Davis reached Richmond he ex- pressed his readiness to be tried, but th counsel of the government was mot pre- pared and the trial was again postponed.
