they were cut off.
Q It was imrely a southern system of tele
graph ?
A. It wag a kind of n system , a good doa
of on the tjny ( Sould plan ; it was union it
union lines and robcl in rebel lines , nnd so fai
as their messages were conccrnod they wen
partly northern and partly southern. ,
Q. It was n jnircly southern system ?
A. No , originally it reached from Loulsvilli
to New Orleans.
Q. Was not this telegraph company tmrolj
and solely a southern system of telegraph.
A. It was n telegraph line covering thi
states south of the Ohio river.
Q , Did it reach Into a single northern state
with its own operators nnd lines ?
A , No , Its terminus was Louisville.
Q. During nil this tlmo of the military
operations In TeiiHCBBOO that urmpany wai
carrying on the general telegraphing for thi
confederacy ?
A , The confederates had wires of their owt
hut they sometimes hid to use the other linei
because they roichod places that wo could no
roach ; in that case they tranaiuittcd anything
that came along.
Q. They were transmitting general ines
sages for the confoderatrs ?
A , They transmitted both ways.
_ Q , You wore assisting in theao tranniia
sions ?
A , I was merely employed in the olfico.
Q. forwarding the dispatches that came Ii
and all that sort of thing ?
A , Yes , I was transmitting all the dls
patches sent to my wire.
Q. You staid there until you were shut ii
by the confederate lino. ?
A. Yes , I was chut out by the Union line :
finally so that I could not leave thoro.
Q , You did not leave when you could , and
you could not when you wanted to ?
A. Yes , sir.
Q. Had tha rebels vacated Nashville whet
you left ?
A. When I loft there it was occupied by the
Union army ; I remained there a week attei
tha Union army took possession.
Q. You staid there until the Union army
got into Nashville ?
A. Yes. sir.
Q. Did you quit your telegraphic duties
when the Union army got there ?
A. I quit a week before they nrrivod , nnd
would not touch the wires again , becauao I
was disgusted witti the confeda , and thought
I would get out as soon as possible ; I got dis
gusted with their conduct.
Q. They had n riot there for a week or so
between the leaving of one army and the act
ual possession of the other ?
A. Yes , after the evacuation of Donoleon
there was a riot there by the people who
broke into the quartermaster and commissary
stores and that continued for live or six days.

did not do any work.
Q. How long did you stay in Nashville
after the union coldlers got in ?
A. It might have been a week after I had
the wires across the river ; I found that it was
best for mo to go north. I was asked by Gen.
Mitchell to accompany the army south , but I
would probably hove boon picked oil by the
guerillas if I had , becausn they all knew me.
Q. You had his confidence ?
A. Yes , to the extent that I communi
cated to him the condition as they were when
he arrived , and tholr going down through the
country that I had lived In Alabama and he
wanted mo to accompany him , but I thought
on the whole that it was not as desirable to do
that as te go into another department whore
I had no personal acquaintance.
Q. You gave htm a statement of affairs as
soon as he arrived ?
A. I first wanted permission to use the
lines ; the daughter of the ex-governor died
suddenly from fright on the bombardment of
Bowline Green and I being the only operator
the people asked mo to transmit the news
from across the river ; I crossed In a skiff ad
asked to be condncted to Mitchell , and asked
his permission to use the wire , and the next
day Gen. Buel sent for mo. I found Thomas
A Scott there and informed him about the
same thing and bo said that he would like to
have mo put up the wires across the river ,
Q. When the Union forces got there you
went to them and reported as much as you
could the situation and what had been going
on there while the confederates weie in posses
sion ?
A. I informed them that the wires were in
condition that they could bo repaired.
Q They took you nt your word ?
A. Yes sir.
Q. I suppose you gave them what informa
tion yon couldjabout where the rebila had gone
to and all that sort of thing ?
A. I did not know where they had gone to ,
but I stated the condition in which they were
when they left.
Q. You gave them all the information that
you could ?
A. Such information as within the roach of
anybody that hadaccess to what was gain on.

oiuored to report to Wheeling.

took service and then you applied by lettet ?
A. I applied to be enrolled in the Tele
graphic Military corps.

during your residence in Nashville you hud
any trouble on account of your union senti
ments ?

reprimanded for writing a letter that was cap
tured by them , to my folks nt Cleveland ,
which they thought contained sentiments that
they thought cught not to go out of the state
at that time ; they stated that they thought I
was giving undue expression to union views ,
Q. Was there nny throats made at that
time ?
ft-A. Notlr ; they said they would keep their
eyes on me , that Is all ,
Mr. Thurston You fixed it up with him ,

FltEU NTB ,
sworn for the defendant , examined in chiei
by Mr. Tharston , testified :
I Iivo in Omaha ; know this extract which
was published In the Omaha Republican De
cember 20th 18S2 , I know the paper
that wag copied frein by the Republican ;
it was trom the St. Taut Phonograph
graph ; that is n copy of the paper con
taining the article which was copiodroforriug ] (
to a paper , ) at tint tlmo the St. Paul Phonograph
graph was a paper in general circulation in
this state ,
The paper above referred to Is c Herod in
evidence nnd received over objection ,
Have lived in Nebraska twenty seven
years ,
Q. Prior to the publication of that article
how general had been your acquaintance with
men nnd particularly old soldiers throughout
the state ?
A. I have been for seven nnd ten years ed
iting different papers in this state and of
course met a great many public man nnd sol
diers ,
Q. Do _ you know whether or not ptior to
this publication in your paper that that ru
mor as to the o charges nijainst Rosewater of
a similar kind to that had been generally cir
culated and believed throughout the state of
Nebraska ?
Objected to as lending.
Q. What If anything do you know as to
the general circulation _ in the state of Ne
braska before the publication of the charge
that Rosouater had boon nrrosterl by the
union Army as n rebel spy aud of his having
been dislojal to the country , aud about the
breaking out of the war ?
Objected to.
A. I had heard the charge , as my memory
serves mo , and I had seen it In print before
this publication in the St. Paul Phonograph ;
I could not state how general , but it was a
matter of some years during which
I had heard that charge ; aa to ex
actly how extensive , I could not say ;
I think the most specific charge of the
kind which I over hoard against Mr. Rosewater -
water was from Mr. Vandervoort in Omaha
some three years before this publication when
I was publishing the Newn here ; it is my
memory that it was published in the News at
that time ; to give a definite answer it is very
hard to state how general ; it had been so
general that I considered it n matter of com
Dion knowledge ; that was before this publica
tion.
tion.CJ State when and how that paper dated
the 22d would be made up ?
A. It would bo made up from the papers
which preceded it and would contain selec
tions from those papers which had prtxaded it.

from the St. Piul Phonograph ; will jou ex
amine the two again , and state whether you
are willing to swear that they are copied one
from the other ?
A. Yes sir ,
Q , Then the article that appears in the Re
publican is precisely the. eamu as the article
in the St. Paul Phonograph in every respect ?
A , Yes , I should say so ,
Q. Will you read the first two or threi
words of the article in your own papet ?
A , "J.et tbo sinner live. "
Q. What are the first two or three won
in the other article ?
A , "Rosewater makes a piteous appeal , "
Q. They are not the same ?
A. The article is the same ; the articl
itself ; the title is explanatory of the article
that was written by me ; I took this articl
out of the St. Paul Phonograph and inserts- -
it there , and put in the heading , "Lot th
Sinner Live. " Tlio morning edition of thi
daily Is made up at different times in th
night , the selections tor the edltoria
would be generally made in the afternoon ,
The daily of the 23d would bo made up th
nifjht of the 22d and morning of the 23d ; had
edited several different papers ; The Fremont
Tribune and the Omaha News ,
Q. You had heard this charge as to Rose-
water's loyalty who , besides .Mr. Vander-
voort ei er spoke to you about that charge
prior to the 20th of December , 1882 who can
you name ?
A. The time when Vandervoort made tha.
charge there was considerable political excite
ment in this state and during that time I beard
that charge frequently made as apportion of the
argument against Ilosewater ; I cannot tellfrom
whom ; it was a matter of general hear eny ;
cannot name n single individual except Mr ,
Vandervoort , who told mo that Rosowatei
had been arrested as a rebel spy ; think Mr ,
Vaudervoort is in town ; saw him day befon
yesterday ; met him on the street ; knew then
that this casa was iminent ; Itwas so long age
that I do not know the authority Mr , Vander
voort gav.o me.
Q , What reason did ho glvo you , if any , fo
Baying that he was a rebel spy ?
A. None ; he volunteered it.
Q. Did he pretend to have any kuowkdgi
on the subject ?
A. I think ho did.
( .i Pretend to have any personal knowl
edge ?
A. Ho pretended to have proof la my rco
ollection.
Q , Did ho say what that proof was ?
A. No.
Q. Will you give the exact language ai
nearly as yen can when ho nmdo that state-
uient ?
A. I can't remember the language ,
Q , It was that Rosewater was u rebel
A. I cannot sav that ho used exactly those
words , but I gathered that impression from
what ho said.
Q. I am asking for the language as near n
you can recall it.
A , I cannot remember one word of the Ian
gunge that ho ui d.
Q. Did he say what proofs he had that you
recollect ?
A. No sir.
Q. When was it tint you had this conver
catlcn with Vandervoort.
A. I cannot eay ; it was some time before
this publication.
Q. You speak of it as n time of great politi
cal excitement what particular question was
on foot ?
A , I don't romomber.
Q. How do you know that it was a time of

ittacKs were made ?
A. Entirely so.
Q , Is its part of your custom to attack n
nan outside of his political record when you
ire politically opposed to him do you attack
lis private character ?
A. This was considered a part of his public
ecord.
I } , You do not regard It as an attack upon
i man's character to call him a rebel spj ? It
i merely to his political standing ,
A , I do not regard it as an attack upon his
irivate chancier with a considerable political
earing ,
Q , It is on his political record that you
mda this attack when you published this
rtlclo ?
A , I could not swear as to that ,
( i. The date of Una Is December 22 , 1832.
Vhat election was pending then , or what par-
cular political excitement wai tbtre then to
idncu you to attack KcueMator'd private
Imracter ?
A. I didn't nttacV It.
Q In that all the answer you desire to
iale ?
A , I dun't know that there wai ( my pollt-1
: al excitement at the tlmo.
Q. You i-ay you didn't attack hia private
laraoter ; didn't you insert this article- ?
A , Yei , sir.
Q Have you not ; jnet eiid that yon re
anloil it us ati littcck upon his tirivftto char-
Hot ?
A. I might have , origtaally ,
Q. Made by you ?
A. Yee , * ir.
(2 ( , Didn't you insctt it in the paper }
A. I published it , but not as an attacl
upon hi * character.

ulnr time ?
A. An n matter of news and comment ,
Q. Is it true that you Inserted It ns n mat
ter of news ?
A. In one it might bo considered so , and in
the other , comment.

this was known nnd believed all over the
state that he was n rebel spy ?
A , I can n at snrcnr ,
Q Did you believe that tiila wan generally
known over the state ?
A. Yes sir.
Q. Then , If generally known over the state
why did you publish it as a matter of now * ?
A , I supposed there wore n great many
people that dld'nt know it ,
I } , And you published it with the design of
inlormlngall thcso people that didn't know
It ; is that true ?
A , I published it as any other thing that I
would take from n country paper ,
( J , Would yon have publuhed the same
Ihlug if it had been against Judge VVakely.
Thurston or Hall , or nny Individual , if It had
nppcnred In the St. Paul Phonograph !
Ai I would , under the snma circumsttncos.
Q , If you had the same feeling ?
A , Not that , but if it had been generally
understood nnd published for several years ,
nud hy seeing it in this panor Bgainst any
gentleman who had not denied It to my knowl
edge , I might have public heel it.
( j , Your idea is to publish articles that are
generally known nnd not denied - you say
tlmt under the circumstances which would
have induced you to publish this would have
induced you to publish it against any reputable -
blo citizen of the state if It was not dented
do you mean to say that this rumor had never
been denied ?

not boon denied ,
( J. What publication ?
A , The first publication of the article.
Q. Had it been denied at the time of the
second publication on the 23d ?
Objected to as improper cross-examination ,
immaterial and for the reason that the proof
shows that that publicatian was not on the
23rd.
23rd.Q Had it not been denied prior to the
second publication in the daily which occurred
on the 22nd ,
A. Yes it had been.
Q. When you hoard this story or at nny
time subsequent to the time of its publication
by you , had yon made any efforts whatever
tn verify the accusation or to ascertain the
tiuth in regard to it ,
A. Mr , Kosowatcr had bren conducting a
paper in this city by which he could defend
himself , and I very naturally supposed that if
the charge was untrue ho would have made
such n defense ; I nuvor had eecn n defense.
CJ. Can you find or bring into the court
prior to December , 1SS2 , any newspaper mak-
me the charge that he WI.B a confederate spy
or in the confederate army , except the Ht ,
Paul Phonograph of the age ?
A. I would not swear to that ; I can try.

the truth of Vaudervoort'a
or falsity state
ment ?
A. No , sir.

partner wrote an article which Mr. Rosewater
afterwards sued the paper for libel on ; but ,
personally , I had no enmity towards Mr.
Rosewater at the time.
Q. Your personal enmity towards him sub
sequent to that time did not arise from the
face that you believed him to be a confederate
spy ?
A , I do not swear that I have had any per
sonal enmity to him.

a tter.
Q. General rumors , and yet when I nsk you
to rastan you down you won't Bay that any
body over told you that ho was a rebel spy or
where the word spy was used ?
A , I take it from the very fact of Ha publi
cation tn this paper that it was n matter of
general notoriety ,
Q , That is your general jule , if you see
anything In n paper of this kind to believe
that it is u matter of general notoriety ?
A. Yes , in the country papers of NtbrJiBlcn.
( i. Whatever is published in a country pa
per is old before it h published ?
A. Not ucoaaaurlly.
( J. It is ft matter of general notoriety'
A. I would say that a matter of this kind
: oncorning an Omaha editor , that had found
Iti way into a St. Paul paper would bj a mat
ter of Central notoriety.

article which he desired to have published for

There la a general of local f.imo , enyi

through a very unhappy quarter of an
hour a week or BO ago , llo had just re
turned from the oast. There ho made
the acquaintance of a young gentleman
who is tnpaged to bo matrlod to n very
charming Oakland girl. The truth , that
nlnaya h the necessary of eopnrartlon of
lore-a , burned In the jonug man'sbroast ,
and lie took tlio opportunity , when the
general was loav log , to load him down
with messages ok" love nnd a book for his
finances. The gallant warrior midottook
the commission with nil willingness , and ,
when ho had rested from his trip , ho
started off ono Sunday morning for
Oakland , with the book under his arm.
IIo sought out the address given him ,
for the young girl was a stranger to him ,
and , as ho approached , ho aw n lady
seated on the stops of an Oakland villn.
IIo opened the gate and walked In with
an Imposing nmtla ) nir. She eyed him
with an nnfavornblo look.
