A MAD EXPLOIT. ♦ (Continued.) that he was misjudged, and wifchdiif an argument to sustain the assertion he I repeated: ! "We are not spiral On my honor as: 1 a soldier, wo are not spies I" • 1 'I would be unjust to you and to my- > self," said Colonel Watkins, "if 1 held' out any hope. The findings of theoourfc, , : based on your own confessions, are^ I known by this time at headquarters, and there oan be but one response. That you are both well bred gentlemen is cvi- • dent, and this faot but intensifies the' \vonder why suoh men should volunta- rily plaoe themselves m suoh a position, particularly when the ohanoes of deteo- tion were so great. " 1 ' We did not expeot to find any offi- cers of the old army here," said Anton. "You oame from General Forrest?" "From his oamp, yes, but we do not belong to his oommand, nor was it our purpose to obtain information for his use. " "What oommand were you attaohed to?" "Bragg's." : "And your position?" "I am attaohed to Bragg's staff as chief of artillery, and my companion is an aide." "What was your purpose m entering our lines if not to get information for Forrest?" "I thought we could make a hurried tour of all your outposts and get baok to headquarters without deteotion. " "When did you leave Forrest?" "Yesterday afternoon." "And this was the first outpost you struck?" "Yes." "Is there anything else you wish to communicate?" "Nothing, except to reaffirm that myself and my companion are gentle- men. lam a cousin of General Robert E. Lee. I am not afraid to die; but, my God, gentlemen, think of the effect on my family of my being sent to death as a spy!" ' 'I might say that that question should have been considered by you before you started off on this ignoble and ill ad- vised expedition. If you wish to write to your friends, I will provide you with materials." Colonel Watkins looked at his watch and added: "It will be day- light man hour. You must be ready for the worst." As the officers were about to leave Anton called out: "For God 'a sake, colonel, send a chaplain herot I want writing materi- als too. General Rosecrans was an old "For God'B sake, colonel, send a cliaplain here!" army friend of my father, Captain Wil- liams, who fell with a bullet m his heart m the victory of Monterey, Mex- ioo." Writing materials were furnished the prisoners, and at 8 a.m. the post chap- lain was roused from his bed and told to visit the condemned men. Next to the spies Colonel Baird was the most perturbed man m Franklin at that time. As a gallant soldier he shrank from this ignominious exeou- tion. In the hope of relieving himself he sent the following to headquarters: No. 8. Franklin, June 9, 8:25 a. m. To General Garfleld, Chief of Staff: Colonel Watkins says that Colonel Williams is a first cousin of General Robert Leo, and he has been chief of artillery on Bragg'a staff. Must I hang him and Dunlap? If you can di- rect me to send them to be hung somewhere else, I would like it, but if not or I do not hear fron> you they will be executed. This dis- patch is written at the request of Colonel Watkins. We are prepared for a fight. J. P. Baird, Colonel Commanding. By this time General Roseorans must have been awake and at headquarters, but General Schofield was still asleep, having retired after midnight, leaving Major Bond, senior aid-de-camp, m charge. General Roseoxans must have been annoyed at the delay m Franklin, for he sent the following terse message. It was certainly positive enough and left Colonel Baird no alternative: No. 7. Headquarters Department 1 I of the Cumberland, V MuRFRBESBORO, June 9, 4 :40 a. m. J Colonel J. P. Baird, Franklin: The general commanding directs that the two spies, if found guilty, be hanged at once, thus placing it beyond the possibility of For- rest's profiting by the information they have pained. Prank S. Bond, gained - Major and A. D. O. Not the least remarkable feature of this remarkable event was the faot that to the chaplain as well as to CoJoneJ Watkins, who visited them again, the, prisoners, m the faoe of all the faots and of their own confession, persisted that they were not spies. They did not, per- : haps beoause they oouldnot, explain tho grounds on whioh they made this plea, flad they done so truthfully the mys- tery still surrounding the oase might have been oleared up. It was believed then, and it is very oertain now, that , no suoh unimportant matter as an at- ; tack by Forrest's oavalry on the outpost ( at Franklin could have induced two officers of their rank and character to undertake so hazardous an enterprise. -• Upon finding themselves about to be exeouted Williams or Anton sent for Colonel Baird, and, handing him a pa- per oovered with nervous writing, said: I "For God'B sake, oolonel, send this, , the request of a dying man, to General Roseorans. '.' , 3 Colonel Baird did so, adding his owe explanation, as follows; ' No. 8. Franklin, June 9, 1863. To Brigadier General Garfleld : j Genbhalj Kosechaks — Will you have any clemency for tho son of your old companion m anus, Captain Williams, who fell ut Monterey, Mexico ? As a soldier and a gentleman I pro- fit be continued. ) | WANTED— A few Broody Hens and Turkeys. Apply Pelham Poultry Yards, or Office of this paper,
