PAGE TEN THE PORTSMOUTH 0AILT THURSDAY, MARCH 23, 1916. STORY OF JOHN BROWN'S RAID TOLD BY LATE M. A. MARQUETT! One of the most cherished heritages left by the late Michael A. Marquette, who died Tuesday afternoon following an attack of heart trouble, is a short sketch of his personal recollections of the capture of John Brown at Harper's Ferry, W.

which occurred just before the outbreak of the civil war. This article which was written just a few years ago, is published in full in this issue of The Times. The funeral srevices of the late Mr. Marquette will be conducted from the home, 720 Seventh street, Friday afternoon at one o'clock. The services will be in charge of Rev.

John W. Dillon and Eev. 0. E. Chandler, pastor of the Bigelow Methodist church.

The following is the personal recollections of Harper's Ferry, which was written by Mr. Marquette: Personal Recollections of Harper's Ferry by M. A. Marquette I was born and reared at Harper's Ferry, All the recollection3 of my early life cluster about that historic place. There I played as a child, wrought as an apprentice in the great shops there owned by the government, whore fire-anna were made.

There I made love; for even there It might be fitly said: lite, die, make love, and pay our taxes," These, briefly, are my credentials for presenting- my personal ions of Harper's Ferry. The story I am about to relate concerns the most important events'that ever occurred upon the American continent. The influence of this event extended throughout the civilized world. It was as a grain of sand upon the seashore, which, having onco received motion, EOOH gathered a momentum and attained a growth as it moved that filled our country full of sorrow and that liberated an enslaved race. It is my purpose to tell wlmt I during that eventful period in such simple narration os occurs to DIG after the lapse of mom than thirty years.

I may tell nothing that is now, hut in point of Unto and circumstance I shall aim to maku my narrative ono of interest to those familiar with Harper's Ferry and the surrounding country, end to ethers as well. I had just grown to manhood. I had entered upon its duties, having thought little of politics and littlo of the social problems of the day, having never tnken sides in thu problem of slavery, desiring only to live a quiet, happy life and to be useful in the sphere in which 1 moved. AVhut wonder, then, that, moving among a thousand others like- minded with myself, I took little notice of a rough and grizzly man who came to the village to mako siic-li purchases as ono mijrht nml who ww encaged in tho mining of iron ore, only a few miles away. This man was then known as John Smith, ami was sometimrs accompanied by men of like appearance with himself, ono of whom was known -by the name of Cook.

Cook was peculiar in Iii.s appearance, iris hair hung well dmvn over his shoulders, and lie appeared In every way eccentric. Ho was an ox- pert mru-ksinan. performing astonishing feats with tho revolver, for time he taught a school upon Bolivar Heights, and there married young girl by the nuino of Jennie Kennedy. Ho mingled i our citizens, beunmo familiar i i ways, and was finally iippointed keeper of tho canal lock, just opposite the Ferry, in Maryland. lie that wus known as John Smith none other than John Brown, the object of whose appearance at Harper's Ferry is now known to every reader.

Upon the plains of Kansas, (it the hands of those who attempted to carry shivery into that territory, he had received such indignities and injuries as maddened him fliul filled liim i desperation as dofp and snvngn as over entered the breast of man. Dotoiminiug to i i a deathblow upon the instil iition of slavery, lie chose Harper's Ferry, where the- great gun i of the country were established and operated, as tho vantage prouml which to strike tho blnw. (Icdgraphiciill.v, Ferry was upon of the slave-holding i hoped that he i sucivs-fully incite the negroes to insurrection, and, having tho Armory, 1m intended to irnns in i to march i a a gathering to him as he w.mt the entire colored a i of the South, and to sweep the country i war iind devastation i every slave should be and i the institution which had eort him two of his sona and had 'Drought him much wretchedness besides should bc wiped forever out of existence. While upon Bolivar Heights, oce-u pied as a teacher. Cook had mad many excursions into thc interior Jefferson county, fiecreily cultivating the acquaintance of the ncgroe and preparing them for tho events that were to follow, so that when the time for action came there might fc concerted movement ihat should li irresistible.

His position as keeper of tho k'ck enabled him to continue this work, and rendered him' an unsuspected means of communication between Brown and the negroes. On Sunday night, Oct. 17, 1S59, John Fur and I attended chin upon Bolivar Heights. Returning to tho Perry about ten o'clock, We met a covered wagon at tho foot of Gump Hill. Subsequent events proved that this vehicle, then scarcely noticed by us, contained John Brown nnd some of his men.

They had quietly captured Williams, keeper of the B. 0. bridge, after which, meeting Haywood, a free colored man, requested him to join in the insurrection, which he briefly explained. Refusing, Iliiy- wood was shot. Brown then ceeded to the residence of Louis Washington, made him a prisoner, and also captured John Allstot, together with two of his slaves.

They had already token possession of the Armory. Of these events I knew nothing until informed of them by my mother early the next morning. Dr. Stnrry had warned her not to permit mo and my brother-in-law, ifr. Martin, to go to our work at the Armory.

Nevertheless, I went. Arriving at thc Armory gate, I found it guarded 'by two men armed with They wore blankets on their shoulders. They commanded me to halt, and, doing so, looked nrouiul and saw 3fr. il'artin, my -brolhcr-in- standing behind me. A moment later Mr.

Snook and Arm- stcd Ball c.ime up. The guards uicw Ball, and one of thorn, snying ,0 him, "You are my prisoner," took lim toward the Armory. 5Ir. Snoolts said: "Mr. Ball, don't go!" at which remark thc guards said: ICeop still, or we will shoot you." Thinking my business there of it tic consequence, I retired fn.mi ic scene as soon as I could.

Going irouud to the opposite side of the Yrmory, I entered through a win- low. Having obtained two riiles, one for myself nnd one for 1C. I went to IIrs. Stipes 1 roused Irwin, who wns still un- conseions of wlmt wns going on, acquainted him with the situation, aud gave him his rifle, telling him 0 meet mo at Hull's Works. Thither then hastened to ring the bell.

By doing this I hoped to bring tho operatives from Bolivnr Heights to Fall's Works, ou iho Shcnuiidonh, vhere the rifles were made, rather han to the Armory, on the Potomac, vlicre the muskets were made, nnd vhieh wns already in tin: possession if tho raiders. Passing my home, left my rifle, and upon reaching the works found two of tho raiders on guard. They asked mo where .1 was going-. replied a 1 wns going home. They commanded me to hasten my -iteps thither, which 1 did.

i along tho raili-nad 'to- ds 1 leer's Island. I met Mr. Denmer, honk-taper for lifer, vho lulled mo and asked wlml wns tho .1 lold him as briefly us 1 could. asked mo why 1 did iml ring the- 'bell. I lold him he i it himself if he wished.

I thought me t'xt'Hfd. but he learned iho H'riousncts Ihe siui- cross the Potomac nnd to come down upon the opposite side to the bridge. At Crossly's Locks a woman told that Cook nnd some others were at ihe school-ho use, a half-mile above the We- debated whether to go there, or on to the bridge. For- tumitely, we chose thy latter, elso some of us would have fallen at the hands of -Cook nnd IMS men. Crossing to tho Virginia side, we anie upon two of the raiders, Stephens nnd Thompson.

Hearing he crark of a rifle from tho Gait House, fit the same moment we saw Stephens fall wounded. We took Thompson prisoner, tied his arms behind him and left him with a rd. We then made our attack upon the raiders; not, however, until we had sent flag of truce, demanding their surrender. They fired upon our flag from the old engine house, now known in history as John Brown's Fort. Their prisoners, consisting of the best citizens of ihe Ferry, were confined in the front room of tins building and was this fact that restrained Tom a more vigorous assault.

We lid not wish to injure our own citizens. The engine house consisted of two apartments. Iii order to go from one to the other, Brown's men had to tass across an open space. It was then that we got in our work. John Brown's son was thus killed after bravo resistance.

They were all irave men, except Cook, who deserted and who wns afterwards captured in Pennsylvania. The raid- TS killed three of our citizens-- laywood, Burlcy and Turner-; oe- 'oro 1 received any of our firo. A few of us btood behind the wall, vhieb rose in front of the engine ouse, where we heard those within uttinjj- post-holes with hammer and chisel. Through these they fired at is, and through them we returned fire. 3Ir.

"Tlie fighting over or tho time, we removed him to his ns the day wna old and disagreeable, we went to the lotcl to warm, there meeting some 'f boys.

Leaving the hotel, 1 met Ifr. icckaiu. agent for the B. 0. rnil- oud.

Ho told mo he wns up of M. A. MARQUETTE track to take the number cars. 1 warned him a ho imperil his life by such a for Brown's men would murder him. He persisted in i that he.

would up hands to show them he was uii- rnicu. A moment a he fell, pierced by a bullet from the fort. any opportunity for a parley was eagerly seized. ITr. Kitsmiller asked Brown his object.

He replied: "Revenge; and to free the negroes. Have yc-u not beard of John Brown of Kansas?" Kitsmiller said that he had. The reply was "I nm John Brown." He told Kitsnriller that his phins had been frustrated, that all but seven of his men were dead; that Cook had deserted him. He had not expected such resistance from the citizens of Harper's Ferry. The number with Brown was estimated to be twenty-one.

It is doubtful whether any accessions were made to his party from the country. If so, they deserted with Cook. On the dny following our attack Robert E. Lee, i a company of larines, arrived and took up headquarters at John Danger-field's. Lee sent Lieut.

Greene, under flag of truce, tc Brown, demanding surrender. Brown's response wns: The marines were then marched to the fort, where, with -sledges, they tried to hatter down the door. This fr.ilmg, Lee ordered; twelve marines -to use a long ladder, which was nearby, a battering 1 Under such blows the door soon yielded. Xo sooner wr.a the door open than Brown ijhot one of tho marines. A singular coincidence of thc death of this man was that be had stnted to ono of his comrades that he would survive i action.

Lieut, ic immediately felled Brown by i his sword, nnd it was with behalf, but their efforts were withou avail. Doubtless the plea made Yorheis on this occasion was on of the greatest efforts of his life The court and audience were movec to tears by his eloquent appeal; aii if sympathy could have saved him Cook would have gone forth a frei man. On the morning of the day ap pointed for John Brown's execution Dec, 2, 1850, Sheriff Campbell wen to his cell and told him that his time iiad come. Brown asked the privi of Calling upon his men, and, in company with the sheriff he pauset at each cell, bade each good-bye am to each a twenty- five cent coin Reaching Cook's cell, he lira as a coward. He told him wha 1 had done for the rest, saying that "or him- the deserter, he had noth- ng but contempt.

Brown then mounted the wagon, and, taking 1 lis seat upon his coffin, rode to the scaffold. His remains were claimec ly his wife, who took them to York for interment Two weeks later Cook, Copic. jreen and Copeland were hanged. Stephens and Ilazlitt met a similar atc on 16, 1860. These men, each wrapped in his blanket, were Ouried in one grave on the uth side of the Slu-nandorth, just below dam.

Green and Copeland being ne- groes, some of the citizens had 'eared an uprising of tho colored people lor their release. A guard vas therefore organized for protec- ion against such a possibility, af- 'ording- the opportunity for much merry-making among us young men formed it. Our headquarters was John Brown's Fort. When we liscovered colored man on the treets after nine o'clock at night, we gave him a merry chase, which, hough iun to us, wns a serious mat- to the victim. But, be it said thc credit of the colored people, hat noi one in all the region around bout thc Ferry would have raised hand against the white citizens.

Eventually a company of soldiers vus, stationed ut the Ferry, remain- ng until thc outbreak of the war, nd with Lieut. Jones, commander the company, 1 soon 'became well eqimin'od. The military spirit seemed now to seize all the young men about the Fuiiy. Four companies were soon formed. All weie well armed, and became very proficient in the drill, Armory Guards were presented, by seven young ladies of the village, with very fine Hug.

In fact, appearances were much in its favor; for the energies of Genera Jackson overtowered those of our own generals, and what was nearesi us was the only index we bad to guide us. The time came, however when my financial operations came grief on account of the decreasing value of the circulating medium At length the day came for the enaction of the farce of an election the people with reference to the ratification of the ordinance of secession. As the people were dominated bv the presence of the soldiery there were few who voted against ordinance.

Stirring events followed the elec- ion in quick burn- tig of the Armory; thc i of B. 0. bridge; and the evnc- mtion of the Perry by the rebels, with incidents both pn hetic and ludicrous. The old life was grndnnlly re until July 4, 1861, when thc Jnion soldiars made their advent. 'hey camped in.
