16 — AN ILLINOIS TICHBOUR Remarkablo Onse of Mistaken Identity De- veloped in Court. PERSONATING A DEAD SOLDIER FOR PENSION A Prize of 825,000 Prodaces Amasing Tes- timony in Favor of A Bogus Claim- ant—History of the Case and ncidents of the Trial, A remarkable trial occupied the at- tention of the United States district court at Springfield, 111, during the reater part of July. A prize of $25,000 n back pension was involved, and as mlgm be expected the lawyer _"u\d(' a vigorous fight for the prize. The re- markable feature of the case, as devel- oped in the trial, was the attempt of the defendant to establish his identity William Newby, a veteran of the war. The jury pronounced his preten- gions fraudulent, declared he was none mher than Danicl Benton, alias “‘Rickety Dan,” a character well known in that section of the country, and that he was uilty of attempting to defraud the §inited States out of ponsion money. ‘White county is in southeastern Illi- ois, and is a rather primitive region. {¥ adjoins Posoy county, Indiana, which 15 famed for an abundance of hoop poles ond a lack of “book-larnin’.” The peo- ple of White county do not hear much about the progress of affairs in the big world outside, and perhaps do not trouble themselves greatly about them, either. But when the civil war began the men enlisted in the union army. in large num- bers. Among these was William Newby, or “'Bill,” as he was always called. Newby at Shiloh, Early in 1861 Bill enlisted in Company D, Fortieth Illinois infantry, along with many of his old White county acquaint- ancos. Bill wasa private. His regi- ment went to Cairo, Ill., and then did some campaigning in western Kentucky. After that it moved down into Tennes- geo with Grant’s command and was at the great battle of Shiloh or Pittshurg Landing in April, 1862 During the battles why's regiment was posted in line near the front. Many men _still living in White county th him. One was by his side. The confederates were then driving the union forces back upon the Tennes river. But the Fortieth Illinois was fghting bravely. According to the accounts of his com- endes Newby was lying on the ground end loading'and firing at the cnemy. e would lie upon his face and fire, and fhen he would turn over upon his back and reload. After he had fired many times and was turning upon his back to reload, he was struclk upon the head by a fragment of an exploding shell from a confederate battery. According to the testimony of one of his companions, who is still living, and was & witness in the case her *‘Bill kinder quivered and uttered a little ,and I never saw him move sgain.” A few minutes after this the Fortieth Illinois was unable to withstand the rush of the confederate troops, and re- treated, leaving the dead and wounded where they lay. Among these was Bill Newby. The next day, as everybody who has read history knows, General Grant was reinforced by General Buell and the tables were turned, on the con- federates. When the field was regained, and the battle was won over, the Fortieth Tllinois began to seek its dead. Nine men in company D, according to the reports, had been killed. In this vas included. Dr. R. H. Miracle is a physician who has lived in White county all his life, and but a half mile from Bill Newby, whom he had known'intimately sinc childhood. Moreover they were tent mates and messmates in company D, Dr. Miracle was a member of the burying arty. He testified in court he at ho found the dead body of Nowby lying with several others. He and his as ants buried all the bodies on the field, and he put Newby’s name on a shingle at the head of his grave. But he had not been told previous to finding the body that Newby had boeen killed. He was quite certain, however, that the dead body was Nowby's. The facts of Bill's death were duly re- orted to his relatives and friends in White count His widow grieved and the government allotted her a pension, which she drew for thirty years at the rate of $12 a month, Another Newby in the Field, Bill Newby had been forgotten. The shingle with his name on it that Dr. Miracle placed over the grave on the Bhiloh battlefield had rotted away many, many years ago. Some of his childrén were dead. The others were getting on towards middle life. Hezekiah, the youngest, was now nearly as old as his father was when the latter went to the war. Bill's widow was living with rela- tives in Texas. L now 91 years old, was still alive White county, Illinois, and several brothers and sisters of his were scattored about the country. Shiloh itself was getting to be a dim recollection to the old soldiers, when in Murch, 1891, a tall, smooth-shaven man, with gray hair, appeared in the streots of Carmi. Scveral old soldiers saw him and said there was something familiarin his appearance. Creed A, Lay, who had been a member of company D, Fortieth 1llinois, met the stranger face to face on the street. Ho stopped him and took a good look at him, “Why, it's Bill Newby,” he exclaimed. “Allof us thought you we have you been all this tim **Yes, I am Bill Newby,” said the man, simply, “and I have come back home.” The man was asked to tell where he had been for thirty years, and why he had not come home sooner to his family and friends, He said that the blow in- flicted un his head by the fragment of shell at the battle of Shiloh had af- fected his brain and injured his reason. His memory disappeared almost en- tirel He could not connect events, He was not even sure of his own name. But he had short periods of sanity, he said, and could recall a mn‘lmn of his history after he was struck by the frag- ment of shell, # When the union troops retreated and the confederates advanced he recovered consciousness and arose from the ground, But the confoderates were all around him and he was taken sent him to Belle Isle mond, Va. ho was thore, and hehad but a faint and disconuected recollection of the events that happened while he was in the prison. But ho was sure that an uncle named Char why got him out of the prison, but when or how he did not 1. member, and took him to Florida. Neither does he remember how long he stayed in Florida, how he got away or t became of the uncle, Charles Newby. His next recollection was of being in the poor house at Mount Ver- non, [1l. By this time he had about for- gotten who he was, and he wandered about Kentucky, Indiana, Obio and I1li- nois, spending most of his time in poor houses. N A Poor House Veteran. According to his own account he must bave been in fifty peor houses altogether. He had come to the Mount Vernon poor house again in 190, and while there the second time his head grew much better, and his memory improved, he said. He began to recall who he was. Gradually events grew clearer. Everything ran back to a great blurr of flame and smoke, and the roar of cannon and the shouts of men, Ho tried hard to place that jumnble of sights and sounds. At last he remembered that it was a great battle. He had been there und he was Bill Nowby. ow he knew why the scar was on his head. Bill's sister, Mrs. Pauline Cambobell, who lives in’ Wayne County, Illinois, said she did not believe the man was her Yrother Bill. He was taller than Bill had been. His hair was straight, while Bill's had curled a little. Bill's fists were bigger than this man's, She re- membered also that Bill had a mole near the middle of his upper lip. This mole rose o little above the skin that one would not notice it without looking closely. She asked the man to let her see il he had such a mole. Ho said that a mole of that kind had been on his lip, but he had cut itoff. The old soldiers sent to Texas after Mrs. Bill She came. The man was put b She looked at him, Then, after the fashion on the melodra- matic stage, she exclaimed: “It's my Bill!” and fell into his arms, There was no disputing the stranger’s identivy after that. When his own wife said it was Bill Newby what right had any other to deny it? So Bill was feasted and made much of. His wife rotified the government that she would no longer draw her $12 a month pension. Instead, Bill put ina claim for a pension for himself. Under the law, for such a wound as he had re- ceived at Shiloh, he would be entitled to a pension of $72 a month, and back pay at the rate of $72a month since 1865, This back pay at the present time would amount to about $25.000, or what would be a fine fortune in White county. The old soldiers, with sympathetic zeal, helped Bill with his application. When the facts in the caso were re- ported to the government some sus picions were aroused at Washington. A preliminary examination increased these suspicions. The government de- cided to investigate thoroughly. : McBride, a pension examiner who is sta- . tioned at Cincinnati, one of the most in- dustrious and skillful in the department, was detailed for the case. Ho is a ro- publican who held officc under the last administration, but has been reappointed by _Mr. Clove- land for mevitorious service. Mr. Me- Bride went into southern Illinois and spent a long time on the case. Then he made a report to his superiors at Wash- ington. That report was startling. A Boguy The claimant, Mr. McBride said, was not Bill Newby. The real Bill Newby was killed at Shiloh, as was at first r ported. The claimant was named Dan- iel Benton, or in full Al Daniel Be; ton, commonly known as “Rickety Dan, He was born in White county, Illinois, but at the age of about 8 years he had removed with his parents to Ten- ness He had grown up there into a worthless man. He had been tried for horse ing, convicted and s tenced to fifteen years’ imprisonment_in the Tennessee penitentiaryat Nashvill He had ved twelve years and nine months of that time, the remainder being commuted for good behavior. After that he had wandered around the west and south, spending most of his time in poor houses. Mr. MeBride said he could account for every year of tho claimant's life excopt 1866, The wound in his head, he said, had’ never been mado by a piece of shell, but by a wagon bow. A wagon bow is a picco of slender buy strong timbor. One end is fastened in a staple on one side of a wagon. Then the other end is bent over and fastened in a staple on the other side. Thus the bow forms an arch over the wagon, and a cover for the wagon and the goods it may, contain is stretched over it and other bows. Mr. McBride said that while the claimant was stretehing such a bow the end flew outof the stapleand struck him on the head with great vio- lence, causing a very severe wound, which left a deep scar, Much Murried. Moreover, Mr. McBride said he could produce a woman, Hannah Stewart, who bad lived with the claimant at the Pike county, Indiana, poor house, and had left there with him in 1873. She had two children by him, though they were never She and Dan went to Tennes arriving there in 1874, Shortly that Dan was sent to the peni- for the horse-stealing episode. The mere fact that he had lived with such a woman did not have much bear- ing on the identity of the man, but the presence in court of a_living son by the woman, now 19 or 20 years old, did. This young mun, who was produced in court here, is exactly liko the claimant, who acknowledges him as his son, as he also does the other statements about Hannah Stewart. The resemblance be- tween the two is wonderful. This boy nant, see, after tentiar ricket; He has a walk precisely like father Now, the “ricke hereditary disease. Bill Ne never had it.

Therefore, says Mr. MeBride, if this man is Bill Newby, his son by llummh Stewart would not have the ckets.” The claimant, he says, has the “‘rickets,” just as his son has, and the gcars on his Togs wore caused by the disease, and not by bullets, A physician might be able 10 determine how these scars were pro- duced, but no such eviden has been in- troduced Mr. MeBride said he would produce a cloud of witnesses who would swear that the claimant was Daniel Benton, and they would trace his life back to a period before the war, To this the man replied that he had been known as Daniel Ben- ton, but he had not given his name as such in the first place. Atsone of the poor houses in which ho had becn stay- ing some one had called him Daniel Ben- ton. That was when his mind was very bad. But he knew enough to know that he was not Daniel Benton, Indicted for Praud. On the strength of Mr, McBride's re- port, however, the claimant was indicted by the grand jury of the United States urt at Springfleld in March 1891, on three counts—tirst, afraudulent attempt to obtain a pension; second, making false affdavit to a pension elaim; third, perjury. The penalty for conviction on each of these indictments is one to five years in a United States penitentiar Acquitial would be equivalent to estab- lishing his identity as Bill Newby, and ultimately obtaining & pension of $72 a wmonth, and 8 back pension of about 000, The claimant was arrested, and some time afterward he wus tdken before United States Commissioner Kidd. He waived examination, and Commissioner Kidd held him in $2,000 bail. This bail was furnished by about twenty of his old soldier friends. Judge James A.

In fact, there was a great storm of indignation in White There was loud talk against MeBride. It was even said that it might be dangerous for him to appear again in White county. It was also said that the national government was trying to cheat an honest but unfortunate old soldier out of his rights. A league was organized to protect and defend Newby, or “*Rickety Dan,” and secure his rights Allen of the southern distri for him. About 1,000 men are in this body. 1t has no name, but it is in- formally known as the Newby league. The Trial, | When the caso oponed it was one of the hottest days of the year, With the freedom of a small city nearly every- body appeared in shirt sleeves, except Judge Allen and the lawyers. The claimant sat almost in frontof the judge. Mrs. Bill New who says she knows it is her husband, and Hezekial, who is equally certain it is his fathor, sat be- side him. Newby wore no coat, but had on an old army vest of bluo with brass buttons. His trousers were blue, his shirt was blue flannel and he wore heavy shoes. He walked into court with the teetering gaiv that he says is due to gunshot wounds in the legs, and that Mr. JleBride says is due to the “ricke But there is a strange contradiction in the case that neither side can reconcile. Bill Newby was born sixty-nine years ago. ‘'Rickety Dan” Henton was born forty-nine years ago. This man looks neither so old as Bill Newby nor so young as “‘Rickety Dan.” The examination of the witnesses was interesting. It disclosed an excited state of popular feeling in White county. Some of the witnesses said that people were afraid to testify that the man was not Bill Newby. Some said that those who were confident he was not Bill Newby had been bulldozed by Bill New sons. A complaint that bull- dozing wds attempted in open court, in the very room sacred to Uncle Sam, was made. Missing Links. The first important testimony was offered by John er, an ola man of 85, who lives at Knoxville, Tenn. He said he had known the claimant as early as 1850, at his brother’s house in Tennes- see. His name was Daniel Benton. He was then a little boy of 8 or 9 years, and was rickety in his limbs. He said he saw him frequently between 1859 and 1864, and also afterwurd in the peniten- tiary, when “‘Rickety Dan” was confined there for horse stealing and Sawyer was a guard. Mrs. Bettie Fudge of Knox- ville, Sawyer's daughter, and many others testified to the same effect. Dr. R. H. Miracle is the man who said he put the shingle, with the name on it, over Newh grave. The doetor had weakened somewhat and had written to Mrs. Newby in Texas that the man was her husband, but he said on the witness stand that he had been intimidated by Bill Newby's sons, because soon after the man’s arrival he had expressed a belief that he was not Newby. This, he said, had” induced him to write the letter to Mrs. Newby. Old Carroll Newby swore the man was not his brother Bill. He said Bill was shorter, lighter of complexion and much broader and heavier than this man. Moreover, Bill, despite his large frame, had a small )uuld wearing a 6% hat. T man has a large head. The voices, also, were different.

But the defense, on cros examination, proved that I oy had once said to a crowd that it would take 500 to keep him from swearing against the claimant. Pressley said he had mado the remark jokingly.

It is this: which are objectionable under any cumstances, become more objec- tionable as the surfacing of the roadway is improved. This for the reason that the force of gravity on an ascending grade offers just as much resistance to haulage on a paved rondway as it does on an unpaved roadway, and, as it is de- ble to haul heavier loads over a paved roadway than can be hauled over an unpaved roadway, therefore we see that as soon as hills are encountered it becomes necessary to either diminish the load or else employ extra hor: This point will be cloar, I think, after an exanination of the following table. The results-here given are compiled from deductions from the experiments of many engineers and practical road builde Tney show the loads, inelud- ing the weight of the vehic that can be hauled by a single horse over differ- ent surfaces and on different mean grad- ients.

IMinally we see that, when the mean gradient rises to 5 per cent, one horse can haul no more on a macadamized surface than he can haul onahard dry earth roadway with a mean gradient of 2 per cent. In the previous discussion of this ques- tion we have seen that it is not practical to undertake the reduction of our section line roads below a mean gradient of 4 per cent, whereas it is quite easy to secure gorvectly located roads on a mean gradier® of 13 per cent.
