THE MOKXIXU OKEGOKiAX, FRIDAY, d'EGEMBR 19, 1902.:
LINCOLN CONSPIRACY
AND ITS CONSPIRATORS r
WHO WAS IMPRISONED AT
Therefore, no such conspiracy" as de
tailed by General Baker ever existed, ex
cepting in his own Inventive mind. "We
were made the leaders, so that further
persecution and tortures could be heaped
"upon us. The finding of the court was In
sufficient, tortures already inflicted were
not enough to satisfy the pent-up hatred
o.f those in high postlon against us. their
defamed and traduced victims of military
injustice.
Jn a short time a damp and unhealthy
dungeon was placed in readiness to re
ceive us, through which but little air
could penetrate, and on October 18 Colonel
G. St. Leger Grenfell, Mudd, Spangler,
O'Laughlln and I were removed to
these selected quarters and herded to
gether like so many cattle. The doors for
the first few days were always kept
closed, with an armed sentinel walking to
and fro from his seat, closely guarding
against any approach to our quarters.
Soon leg irons were Introduced, and each
ironed, with the exception of myself, they
remaining off me, because I was engaged
in writing for some of the officers at post
headquarters. When "the instructions con
tained in General Newton's communlca-'
tlon of September 3 had been looked Into,
the -ringleaders of the plot ferreted out
and placed in irons, the commanding of
ficer, to prove how willingly the duty of
his superior, but likewise of himself, had ;
been performed, penned the following
communication to the War Department:
Headquarters. Fort Jefferson. Fla., Oct. 20,
1S63. Brevet Llcutenant-Coloncl Samuel Breck.
Assistant Adjutant-General Colonel: I have the
honor Jto report that when I relieved Major
"Willis E. Craig, 161st.Ncw York Volunteers, of
the command of this post, he failed to turn
over to me any particular order or Instructions
relative to the confinement of state prisoners
at this post, and today for the first time
learned from Brinadler-General Newton, com
manding Department of , Middle Florida, that
instruction had been sent to the commanding
officer of this post to -keep them In clo.e con
finement, when not at workl When this tost
was visited by Major-Genera J Foster, com
manding Department of "Florida, on the 14th
day of this month, he gave me Instructions to
, put them In close confinement, and I have ac
cordingly fitted up a dungeon to carry out his .
Instructions, but I had never until this day
known anything In regnid to the orders from
the War Department. I am, sir, very respect
fully, ycur obedient servant.
GEOnGE E. WENTWORTH.
Major 82a "United States Colored Infantry, com
manding. Amid Msr.y "Windings.
What mind amongst those mazy wind
ings can unearth the cause of all these
secret machinations. Everything connect
ed so far as to the cause assigned for the
placing of us In irons has been refuted by
their own correspondence. We were close
ly confined, when not at work, in this
damp and Ill-ventllated dungeon, prepared
by Major George E. Wentworth for our
reception forced to labor daily, heavily
Ironed about our feet, our footsteps close
ly followed by an armed guard (black),
denied intercourse with every one upon
tho island and locked within our glorfmy
.dungeon at sundown.
This continued unchanged until the ar
rival of the Fifth Artillery. Brlgadier
Genoral Bennett H. Hill, commanding.
The rations Issued 'at this time were put
rid, unfit to eat, and during these three
months of confinement I lived upon a cup
of slop coffee and the dry, hard crust of
bread. This Is no exaggeration, as many
others can testify to Its truthfulness.
Coffee was brought over to our quarters
in a' dirty, greasy bucket, always with
grease swimming upon its surface; bread,
rotten fish and meat, all mixed together,
and thus we were forced to live for
months, until starvation nearly stared us
in the face.
When the Fifth Artlfiery arrived and we
looked upon the faces of men of 'our own
-color and race, we felt greater security
for our lives. We did not think It pos
sible that worse men could be found upon
the face . of the earth than meet of the
officers connected with the Eighty-second
United States Colored Infantry, but we
eoon found that we had traded off the
witch for the devil. As for the enlisted i
men, or private soldiers, both white and
black, I must say that we were treated
by them with the utmost kindness and
consideration, which shall ever be remem
bered with the most grateful feelings.
It was but a short period before the
hatred of the officers of the Fifth Artil
lery became visible and felt In more In
stances than one. Their arrival dated
from about November 13, when General
Hill assumed command of the post. Fre
quent visitations were made by them to
our quarters without a word being spoken
or a 'question propounded, they looking
upon us as if we were wild beasts and
concocting some plan to degrade and
further torture us.
A TJiielcsii Protest.
First Lieutenant William Van Reed, ad
jutant, being officer of the day, O'Laughlln
determined to ask him the cause of hie
being placed In irons. O'Laughlln stated to
him that It was not In conformity with the
findings of the court; that sentence did
not call for such inhuman treatment at
the hands of his jailers; that he had con
formed to every requirement since a pris
oner In the hands of the Government,
never violating any rule governing the
command and firmly protesting against
ouch barbarous treatment.
Lieutenant Van Reed walked up and
down our quarters in hie insignia of rank,
and replied:
"Sir, your sentence Is nothing; we can
do with you and to you just as we please,"
and, without further comment, abruptly
left our quarters.
If a subaltern officer could thus set
aside the findings of an entire court of
officers, also override the modified sen
tence of the President of the United
States, he possessed more real power over
us than either and had it in his assumed
power to Ignore the findings of the court
In Its entirety, and, if so desired, could
order us on sight to be taken from our
cell and executed in like manner to others.
What a parody on Justice! Witness that
long-drawn-out trial, with its horrors at
tending for months, Its findings to be
thus ignored by a subaltern officer in the
service of the United States. The time
.vas fast approaching when I. Hk unto
the others, was to be made again to feel
the .Iron heel of the despot sent to over
look and guard us. It could be read In the
eyes of each officer as he approached,
could be viewed in their many consulta
tions after and during a visit to our quar
ters, as they slyly gazed from one to the
other, after looking upon my unshackled
limbs as yet.
Ajrnin Put In Irons.
On November 17, 1S63, Captain George
W. Crable. First Lieutenant United States
Artillery, came into our quarters, accom
panied by the sergeant of the guard, and
in a very gentlemanly manner thus ad
dressed me:
"Arnold, I have a very painful duty to
perform, but I am forced, as you are
aware, to carry out and obey the orders
from my superiors, no matter how grat
ing against my feelings they may be. I
am ordered," he continued, "by General
Bennett H. Hill to place you in irons, he
havjng received orders to that effect from
higher authority, as turned over to him
by Major Wentworth. just relieved in
command of the post."
I protested against it as a violation of
the organic law of the land, both civil
and military, and also of the sentence
meted me by the military commission. I
informed him' that I was a prisoner, it was
true, but tnat no act of my life had justly
merited me to be imprisoned, much less
incarcerated and weighted down by gall
ing chains, and cried out against such a
shameful abuse of power.
He replied that he was grieved to have
to perform the duty, but that there was
no alternative left but to strictly follow
the order assigned to him. The sergeant of
the guard was then ordered to execute
the command, and I was Ironed In like
manner to the others. We five constituted
the chain gang at Dry Tortugas. We

as before mentioned.
I had been In the office but a few days
when orders were Issued which separated
me from my only companions, upon the
island. I was transferred from my dun-
communication or 1 intercourse" with the
few with whom I was Individually im
poisoned, forced to dwell amid the con
fusion and noise abounding among numer
ous sentinels. This was of anything but a
pleasant nature to my senses. I could
not conceive why I had been relieved of
suffering of dne kind to have another
heaped upon me of just as bad a nature,
and I determined, if possible, to have it
corrected in some way.
In a communication addressed to the
commanding officer I requested to be re
turned to my former place of confinement;
for, although a dungeon. It was far pref
erable to the guardhouse where I was then
confined; that there were no consequences
attending the change of situation; that In
stead of being an amelioration of my con
dition I found It an aggravation. My re
quest was complied with and I was again
placed in the dungeon with. my compan
ions, which fact had the tendency to ruffle
the disposition of the post Adjutant by
whose order I had been placed there (with
out the sanction or knowledge of the com
manding officer), as ho remarked to me
afterward, stating that he 'placed me In
the guardhouse to prevent the pontenfs of
communications received at the office
being divulged to the Inmates of my quar
ters. Together Once More.
From that time out we remained togeth
er. The orderly accompanied rne to and
fro from my cell to headquarters and to
every point I required to visit. At retreat
or sundown we were locked together with
in our dungeon, remaining until carried
out to our morning labors at sunrise.
With the arrival of the Fifth Artillery
at the post the regulations which had been
In force were changed and cruelty became
the order of the day. Not only were pris
oners the recipients of It, but to a very
great extent It prevailed over the enlisted
men, recruits just arrived to fill up the
different companies which had been re
duced through explratlfen of terms of en
listment. There was scarcely a day that
passed but that 10 to 15 would be seen
carrying from morning until night heavy
cannon-balls upon their shoulders, and
often continuing for days as well as
nights.
To fall to salute an officer was a sure
forerunner of punishment, when in fact at
times It was Impossible to distinguish
them, they not being clad in their re
quired uniform. The manual of arms was
drummed Into the recruits with the butt
end of the musket, and the different evo
lutions of the command were first learned
in the regions of the back, legs and breast,
the drilling officer not being particular as
to what part of the body the blow was
given. Our close proximity to the guard
house afforded every opportunity of be
coming conversant with the many differ
ent acts of cruelty and tyranny practiced,
which I will hereafter relate.
Dnnjreon Was Flooded.
We remained in our dungeon quarters
until some time in the month of February.
1S66, at which period our removal took
place, arising from the woeful condition
of the quarters. It becoming flooded with
water to the depth In places of one foot,
created by the rains and leakage through
the walls. This had been so more or less
ever since our confinement there, but
failed to attract the attention of our jail
ers until It became so plain that their all
seeing eyes In all else could not fall but to
notice it. The health of each had become
very much Impaired from' confinement in
this malarious dungeon, and 'when it was
announced that we were to be removed to
other quarters we heralded the change
with joy, feeling that we would be. able to
regain our health somewhat by coming
In contact with the pure, fresh sea breeze.
In this, however, we were sadly disap
pointed. Our quarters were placed Imme
diately over the sally-port of the fort, the
casements so constructed that we ob
tained less fresh air and ventilation than
In the quarters we had been removed
from, and, to make it more confined and
Jinwholesome, an eight-Inch wall was
erected between the arch division, dlvld
ing the casements, thereby darkening the
quarters and breaking off every particle
of air from the eea

ters, occasionally a glimpse of the sky

measuring 5 feet long and 6 inches in
width, set about two or three feet In the
wall, distant from the ground floor about
seven feet, completely breaking off all
view to the outer world and preventing
the breeze, so necessary to health, from
being obtained. The wall here, as here
tofore, was a mass of slime, produced
from the dampness of the casemates.
Water Balled Out.
Often during our confinement In the
place buckets were used to ball out the
collected water. It having been found
necessary to dig deep holes and gutters
to catch the water, thereby preventing
our quarters becoming flooded all over.
For months yes, over a year we were
quartered In this filthy place, having as
companions In our misery every Insect
known to abound on the island, In the
shape of mosquitoes, bedbuds, roaches
and scorpions, by which, both night and
day. we were tormented. Our limbs drawn
In different shapes by rheumatism con
tracted from the .dampness, though a
wreck, my Iron constitution outlived it
all.
When asking . that an ameliorating
change be made", no notice was taken
thereof: in fact, it grew worse. If possi
ble, for the mind of man to conceive such
to be possible. A guard stood at our
doorway constantly, preventing the ap
proach of any one to our quarters, ex
cepting when accompanied by the officer
of the day, the commanding officer or the
surgeon of the post. We were made a
show of when any nabob or officers came
upon the island, to whom wo were not
permitted to speak, standing like so many
statues in their presence.
Officers whose minds should have been

Jjfore men tloned, cond cstofr
llshed the fact that a base subterfuge had
been practiced upon us to gratify alone
the evil passions of those who were
prejudiced against us.
Shortly after our change of quarters
Colonel George St. Leger Grenfell, who.
had been made to bear In part the same
harsh Injustice as ourselves, wrote a
communication to the commanding officer.
General B. H. Hill, asking the reason
why he had been placed In Irons, etc., as
the same reasons could not be attributed
to him as to the others, from the fact that
he was upon Governor's Island at the time
Mudd made his attempt at escape, and
certainly could not have been connected
therewith, nor have any knowledge there
of. In fact, he did not know that there
was such a. person In existence as Dr.
Mudd, and; "If there were no just grounds
for the irons, he asked that they be
struck off and other quarters assigned
him.
.Relief for Grenfell.
The next day he was relieved of the
lron3 and assigned other quarters, the
General having found that there were no
orders in his case, after the old Colonel
had suffered through their Injustice for
six months.
The only view from our quarters was
the inside of .the fort. There were but
few things that transpired within its en
virons but that came under our observ
ation, because directly beneath was the
guardhouse, the chief point where the
barbarities were practiced and inflicted
upon prisoners and soldiers. At this time
it was an everyday occurrence to behold
men plodding around a ring, both day and
nigttt, carrying logs and cannon balls, the
oaus varying in weight from 24 pounds
up to 12S pounds.
To be reported was enough to award
punishment, neither soldier nor prisoner
being allowed to utter a word in his own
defense. To look sideways at an officer
was the forerunner of a ball to be carried
two hours on and two hours off, frequent
ly for a week or 10 days. There was a
soldier by the name of Wheeler, Company

PIPE UP IN THE AIR.
Water Committee and County Com-
misHloncrs Diapnte About It.
There Is a dlsnute between the water
committee and the Board of County Com
missioners regarding the pipe line In the
Macadam road. The county nas wiaenea
this itoad from 40 to 60 feet, and has
changed the grade In various places, so
as to make the road more level tnan ae
fnr. In some Dlaces tho grade was
raised, and in others lowered' by the lev
eling of small hills. Tho result of lower
ing the grades has caused some of the
water pipe to be exposed. As Judge Web
ster remarked yesterday, "it is up in tne
air, and we had to build a fence around
tho pipe In several spots to protect it."
The pipejn the Macadam road was laid
by the Portland Water Company, which
sold out to the city. County Commission
er Showers was appointed a committee of
one to ascertain what rights the Water
Company had under its franchise. Mr.
Showers says the Water Company was to
change the pipe line to conform to the
changes of grades.
Judge Webster states that the water
Committee sent a letter to the Board oi
County Commissioners to the effect that
the board had no right to change tne
grade of the road, and that he wrote an
answer to the committee, asking what tho
committee Intended to do about it, and
also stating that the County Commission
ers did not recognize the right of the com
mittee to Interfere with the Improvement
of the road. Judge Webster says It is the
business of the water committee to put
the pipe underground to a sufficient depth.
SUE ON HOP CONTRACT.
A. Lenmtin & Co. Seek to Recover
$2581 From John -Salsgeber.
The phenomenal rise In the price of
hops andi the consequent reluctance of tho
growers to stand by the- prices agreea
upon early in the season have brought
another complaint on this point before
the United States Circuit Court. A. Leh
man & Co., of Cincinnati, O., have filed a
complaint against John Salzgeber, liv
ing near Hlllsboro, Washington County,
for $25S1 and Interest upon money alreaay
paid the grower to carry on the expenses
oi picking and packing. The Ohio deal
ers state that they made an agreement
with Salzgeber on March 29 to deliver
12,000 pounds of hops of the first quality
to them during October, and that tne spe
cified nrlce was 11 cents per pound. On
September 6 they made him an advance
of 5720, but when tne hops were cauea
for Salzgeber refused to make the de
livery, though he raised, they declare,
fullv 40.000 nounds of fine hops. The
grower has a three-year contract with

BOATBUILDER SUBS.
Defendant Allesrc Thnt the 'Bout
Was Not Built Properly.
The trial of the suit of Joseph Paquet
against Captain E. W. Spencer, to re
cover $7S0, a balance alleged to be due on
account of the building of the steamboat
C. R. Spencer, was commenced before
Judge George yesterday. The C. R. Spen
cer la used for towing logs and ships, and
cost altogether about $40,000. Paquet al
leges that there is a balance due on the
contract price, and he also claims some
extras.
Spencer has filed a counter-claim for
52614, covering many Items. He asserts
that Paquet changed the model, giving
the boat less depth, raised the stern and
also gave too much sheer. Coovert &
Stapleton appear as attorneys for Paquet,
and J. C. Moreland and R. W. Montague
for Spencer.

been removed, and some of them carried
off, the owner of the property came along,
and, when he saw what.the men were do
ing, he gasped out: "Don't do that!"
"Why?" asked the foreman. "Because,"
the property-owner shouted. "I received
a permit from tho City Engineer last
Spring, when I built a new wooden side
walk, giving me authority that the, now
wooden sidewalk would stand one yeai

important document was examined, and
the property-owner was" found to be cor

to do but to relay the wooden planks back
In their places.
TO MOVE INTO NEW HOME
Y. W. C. A. Will Occupy Building at
Sixth, and Oak Februnry 1.
The Young Women's Christian Associa
tion expects to move Into its new quar
ters in the brick buildlns at the southeast
corner of Sixth and Oak streets about
February 1. The second and third floors
will be occupied by the association, and
those Interested in this work for young
women believe that they will then have
an opportunity to enlarge the educational
branches of the association until they are
equal in scope to that department in the
kindred organization, the Young Men's
Christian Association. The new quarters
will also afford space to rent rooms to
unemployed girls without homes. The
Home for Unemployed Women, soon ,to
be merged Into the Y. W. C. A., has here
tofore carried on work of this kind, and
this branch has not been lost sight of
In effecting the combination. The employ
ment bureau work carried on by both the
Y. W. C. A. and the Home at Third and
Clay streets were of so similar a nature
that it was thought expedient to merge
the two organizations. The lodging de
partment in the new quarters will not
conflict in any way with the boarding es
tablishment of the Portland Women s
Union, as that institution is patronized
by women and girls who wish a home.
but are already employed. Many trained
nurses, teachers and others drawing good
salaries live at the Union, while the in
mates of the Home were largely country
girls who became stranded In the city
without money, employment or the means
to return home.
The Y. W. C. A., as now carried on, has
several educational classes, with the lunch
and rest-rooms s an additional feature.
"We will notjnterfere In the least with
the Portland Woman's Union," said Miss
Abble McElroy, the general secretary of
tne x. w. C. A., yesterday. "Our lines of
work arc entirely different, and will con
tinue so. We will have 11 or 12 rooms In
our new quarters, which we will rent to
girls as the Home for Unemployed Wom
en does now, and we hope greatly to en
large our educational work then."
The Home at Third and Clay streets will
be abandoned as soon as the new quarters
at Sixth, and Oak streets are ready for oc
cupancy. Boers to Settle in Southwest,

Reserve Force
When a great general goes
into battle he holds back part
of his army for reserve to use
in case of need at any point
where the fighting line weak
ens and the enemy threatens
to break through.
In the same way a thor
oughly healthy human body
always has a certain amount
of reserve strength at com
mand in case of emergency.
What Scott's Emulsion
does is to build up reserve
strength and vital force which
the body can use to repair or
defend any weak part in the
entire system.
Everybody who needs good
red blood, physical vigor,
high spirits and plenty of re
serve force should take
Scott's Emulsion. It is. not
a mere stimulant, extract or
so-called wine of cod-liver oil,
but is rich in actual nourish
ment for the blood, the tissues
and the nerve cells. Scott's
Emulsion contains the whole
oil perfectly emulsified and
blended with hypophosphites
of lime and soda in a com
bination which is a genuine
and perfect food-medicine.

SOOT Stomacil (AcidDySpepsia)
Now Recognized an the- Cause of Se
rious DlseancH.
Acid Dyspepsia, commonly called heart
burn or sour stomach. Is a form of indi
gestion resulting from fermentation of
tho food. The stomach being too weak to
promptly digest it, the food remains until
fermentation begins, filling the stomach
with gas. and a bitter, sour, burning taste
In the mouth Is often present."' This con
dition soon becomes chronic and being an j
every uuy uucuri ciiuu is given uui uura
attention. Because Dyspepsia is not im
mediately fatal, mmy people do nothing
for the trouble.
It Is now well known among able phy
sicians that the whole constitution 13
gradually undermined and weakened,
that the nerves and vital organs are ss
rlously affected by any form of dyspep
sia. This Is plain, as every organ, every
nerve in the body Is nourished by the
blood and the blood Is replenished from
the food digested, it the food Is properly
digested the blood Is pure, the nerves
stea'dy, but if supplied from a. sour, fer
menting, decaying mass the blood is vi
tiated, poisoned and the result Is shown
in .sleeplessness, lack of energy, poor ap
petite, nervousnesa. Every trifle Is mag
. nllied and the dyspeptics sees nothing
but the dark side of everything.
Within a recent period a remedy has
been discovered prepared solely to euro
dyspepsia and stomach troubles. It is
known as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and
It is now becoming rapidly used and pre
scribed as a radical cure for every form
of dyspepsia.
It Is not claimed to cure anything ex
cept dyspepsia and stomach weakness In
its various forms, but for this it has
been shown to he unequaled. The emi
nent specialists, Reed and O'Leary, have
recently stated that they considered Stu
art's Dyspepsia Tablets an unfailing spe
cific for disorders of the digestive or
gans, and . the remarkable cures made in
cases of long-standing dyspepsia proves
that this remedy has extraordinary merit,
x Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have been
placed before the public andare sold by
druggists everywhere at 50 x cents per
packago, and while it promptly and ef
fectually restorer a vigorous digestion,
at the same time is perfectly harmless
and will not Injure the most delicate
stomach, but on the contrary by giving
perfect digestion, strengthens the ,stom
ach, improves the appetite and makes life
worth living.

On The Brain Lost
Self Control.
Lived in Misery For
Ten Years.
Dr. Miles' Nervine and
Heart Cure Cured.
The reason Dr. Miles' Remedies cure such
a large percentage c cases is because they
are formulated to and actually do, go at once
to the root of the disease. Doctors often
make the mistake of treating the svmptoms,
a method which must always fail. Dr. Miles'
Nervine restores health, strength and vitaltty
to the nerves. Dr. Miles' Heart Cure en
riches the blood and improves the circulation
so that the patient speedily regains health.
"I feel it is a pleasure as well as duty to in
form my friends the means I used to regain
my health. I have been troubled a great
deal with nervousness and headache; 1 be
gan to observe enlargement of the neck until
it became so bad I felt it severely, especially
blood on the brain. The least excitement
gave me dreadful pain and I would lose all
control of myself. I lived in this misery for
about ten years; consulted many doctors,
but secured no relief whatever. I com
menced the use of Dr. Miles' Nervine and a
few days later began the use of Dr. Miles'
Heart Cure and within a week I fe't very
much better. The second week my friends
told me I was looking very much better.
This encouraged me and t continued the use
of the two remedies until now I am well
enough to do my own housework without
any trouble whatever. T consider my health
good, the cure permanent and I can do any
kind of work." Mrs. Charlotte Elg,
