Investigation Will Check Legend That
Marshal Ney, Aide of Napoleon, Escaped
To America After Battle of Waterloo
Ry MAUHICE MEItRYFIELl) i
(International Illusl rated News !
Writer)
CHARLOTTE, N. C. One of
those romantic and leondary
mysteries which bus been nn In
tripling topic for the past century
is lilt fly to be solved within the
next few weeks.
For years It has been a subject
for debate o to the eventual fate
of M lehel Ney, French cooper's
son who rose to eminence as a
marshnl In the scrvtco of Napo
leon Bonaparte.
History records bis end as hav
ing come when he faced a firing
squad nfter Waterloo for having
aided in the return of Napoleon
from exile on the Island of Elba.
His execution Is listed as having
taken place in the Luxembourg
gardens on Dec. 7, 1815. and his
burial was supposed to have been
in an unmarked grave In a Paris
cemetery.
It was a month later thPt a
French fencing master landed at
Charleston, S. C, giving his name
as Peter Stuart Ney. His back
ground was myKteriouB and he
chose to say nothing about his
past.
Evidence Supports Theory
Various Incidents served to sup
port the theory (hat this fencing
teacher, however, was none other
ban the grent marshnl of France,
the hero of Frledland and the re-
reat from Moscow, the man whom
Napoleon termed "the bravest of
the brave."
For several years after his ar
rival In South Carolina he wan
dered from place to place, teaching
school and living In unobtrusive
fashion. One definite incident
which furthered the belief that he
was Napoleon's aide was the dis
covery of several French histories
in the llbrnry of Davidson college
where he had written marginal
notes commenting on accounts of
Nupoleon's career nnd correcting
several errors concerning accounts
of the "little Corslcan's" battles.
And on his death bed In 1S46 he
announced his identity as Mnrshal
Ney of trance. It Is also recorded
that when news came of the death
of Napoleon that Teacher Ney
fainted and next day attempted to
comm't suicide. He was burled In
the Presbyterian cemetery near
Stiitesvllle.
Numerous articles nnd mono
graphs have been written about
the subject. Considerable research
has been carried ou by historians
in an attempt to clear up the
matter.
It now appears likely that the
matter will he definitely settled.
Plans are under way to dig up the
grave of Peter Stuart Ney and
make an exhaustive examination
of the skeleton. Two clues lead

Marshal Ney was known to havft
