A few days after this incident, an old " chum " from my own regiment wrote me that he was at Carver Hospital, and asked me to come and see him. I went, and while there X asked after the blind soldier who had lost his eyes. I then learned that the following day, after his interview with the President he received a commission as a First Lieutenant in the Eegu- lar Army of the United States, accompanied by an order of retireni ent upon full pay ; and if he is living to-day, he is doubtless drawing... the salary of a First Lieutenant in the United States Army on the retired list. I never shall forget that dark hour in our nation's his- tory, the fourteenth of April, 1865. I was on duty at the War Department. Everything seemed peaceful, and nothing was heard but the quiet tread of the sentinel as he paced his beat. Suddenly a great commotion was heard outside, and in a moment the soldier on duty at the Pennsylvania Avenue front came rushing in, and, with a face pale as death, broke to us the tidings of the most accursed crime in modern history.
