CHARACTERISTIC OF JUDGE
NIBLACK. Reminiscence of the War.
RJItor Vhw tnaw Sun.
At the conclusion of the speech of
Judge Nihlack, at the Old Settlers' meeting, I intended to follow and tell of some things which occurred during the war. When I left Knox county I placed claims for collection in the hands of the Judge. After I reached the South I wrote him telling him I wished him to collect the claims, pay himself and pay over the balance on debts which were against me. He answered me as follows: "I cnnot receive any pay for anything I may do for a man who stands between me and danger. There is not a storm of wind or rain or snow that howls around my dwelling at night but I think of the thousands who are marching or stand Ing guard, or in the fiercer battle field. No, Sir I no pay from yon." John T. FrkktjAND. Edwardsport, June 10, 1830.

the men had come prepared with a plen

onlv a few minutes to open the outer
door6.
The cell in which Deavin and Tenny
r t . a S
son were connneu was uisiiHgumien
from the others by the piteous cries of
Tennyson, who called upon the Lord to ave him, while Deavin said nothing.
rhe latter had nerve enough to write
note while the outside jail door was be
ing broken open. It was founa after
ward and read: "uoou nyetoaii; mv

When the cell door was broken open
Tennvson asked the men to spare bis
life, but Deavin remained silent. 'Neith

other prisoner who occupied a cell near

As soon as the doors were opened the men who had the sledges and tools mov

The leader then took out his watch

was verv short, however, as the men

Jim Deavin was well-known In New Alhanv. where he was raised. He served

own orchrrd in New Albany many years
ago, and it was thought at the time that
Deavin killed him. Ilia partner, ten nvtnn. was also a iail-bird and served i
time in JflfTersoHville. Both were such
bad characters that their loss will not be
