By TOM HI1NW1AW GEWYSBtffiG (AP) The Union army wen a smashing defensive victory today etet the Confederate forces of Oen. Rob- eft E. Lee, turning back his invasion of the North.

The climax el the great day battle at Gettysburg came at 3 p.m. this hot, humid afternoon when 18,000 Confederates under Gen. George E. Ickett assaulted the center of the Federal line. They were hurled back with heavy losses after Brig.

Gen. Lewis A. Armistead, 46. of Virginia, and 180 men momentarily penetrated the defenses on Cemetery Ridge. Armistead was killed.

Brig. Gen. John D. Imboden late tonight quoted Gen. Lee as saying: "We must return to Virginia." Losses in killed, wounded and missing during the three-day battle were estimated at 23,049 for the Union Army of the Potomac and 28,063 the Confederate Sfrifrt tna fat fam itiimm fffla PeKigTOW long IMTCn BvlUBS lire valley iHeiUIIIRI ana fudgtS.

Gen. Isaac R. Trimble was launched after one of the greatest artillery barrages ever seen on the North American continent. "If a constellation of meteoric worlds had exploded above our heads, it would have scarcely been more terrible than this iron rain of death furiously hurled upon us," said Union Pvt. Warren L.

Goss. "Over these sounds were heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded and dying. The uproar of the day previous seemed silence when compared to this inferno." About 3 p.m., the artillery fell Confederate Capt. M. T.

Owen described the scene like this: "Round shot, bounding along the plain, tore through their ranks and ricochetted around them; shells exploded incessantly in blinding, dazzling flashes before them, behind them, overhead and among them. "Frightful gaps were made from center to flank, yet on swept the column, and as it advanced the men steadily closed up the wide rents made along the line in a hundred places at every discharge of the murderous batteries in front." Gen. Armistead and his gallant ISO reached the Federal defensive wall and dashed hand-to-hand with the Philadelphia Brigade led by Brig. Gen. Alexander Webb, 28.

Armistead died with bis hand on a Union cannon; bis 150 men were quickly killed or captured; the great Confederate charge rolled back down the ridge and fled across the valley to safety. Gen. Lee reportedly told Pickett: "This was all my fault. This has been my fight and the blame is mine. Your men did all men can do.

The fault is entirely my own." Confederate Brig. Gen. Richard er, Grig. Gen. JeTm (Sfbboft, were wounded.

Losses were so high that the Confederates reehristened it "the Mffl of Death." It's raining tonight at Gettysburg as Lee prepares to begin the long, sad march south with his beaten army, a wagon train of wounded 17 miles long, down muddy roads and across swollen streams. It is believed that Gen. George G. Meade will make no effort at pursuit.

His cavalry commander, Maj. Gen. Alfred I Pleasanton, told him tonight: "I will give you half an hour to show yourself a great general. Order the army to advance, while take the cavalry and get in Lee's rear, and we will finish the campaign in a week." "How do you know Lee will not attack me again?" asked Meade, and he added: "We have done well enough." fWwWlf, flit CMffiBfF 9jfc vOrnnTeTcB IwS IKUUUU tv flu fwsd wftfl tffte fourth at Jaty ft Fart folk.
