Sherwood, sought by the Hofstadter legislative investigating committee to testify as Mayor James J. Walker's business agent, was en route to the United States today denying he ever worked for Walker. He was accompanied by Mrs. Sherwood, with whom he had been spending his honeymoon here. The Sherwoods left here with tickets for St.

Louis, where their train is due at 11 a. m. Monday. Sherwood declined to reveal his plans after reaching the United States. Sherwood said he was an accountant in New York but that Mayor Walker was never one of his clients.

He said nobody was more competent to answer for his own affairs than the mayor himself. Sherwood had been here several weeks on his honeymoon when he refused service on a subpoena by the Hofstadter committee on the grounds that it was illegal in Mexico. Burton Wilson, a New York attor ney, said that Sherwood's reaction to attempts to seize his property in New York for contempt of the committee was "nothing." But Sherwood's decision to leave Mexico was announced suddenly on the day he was subpoenaed to appear In New York. Sherwood said he intended to continue his honeymoon as he had planned. It was believed he would stop at San Antonio en route to St.

Louis. There was no Indication of when or if he would reach New York. 1927 Chevrolet 1 Ton O.

Samuel Chester Reld." And what is more surprising is the) fact that Reid saved that historic city by fighting a battle on Jhe sea.

several thousand miles away. During the War of 1812 Beid was commander of an American privateer, the General Armstrong. On the night of September 26, 1814, his ship lay at anchor In the harbor of Horta In the Island of Fayal In the Azores. Despite the fact that Horta wag a neutral port, a large British squadron, commanded by Commodore Lloyd, came to attack'' the little American ship. It was a bright moonlight night; when Lloyd sent his first attacking party of more than 100 men In four, large launches Into the harbor.

The, enemy opened fire as they ap preached and Reld Immediately replied, driving off the launches with heavy loss. Another attack was made at midnight with 14 launches and 600 men who succeeded In boarding the General Armstrong, but were driven out At daybreak an other attack was made by the Brit Ish brig, the Carnation, but she was beaten off. Realizing that he conld not resist another attack and finding his ship badly damaged, Reld scuttled his vessel and safely conveyed all his men ashore. He had lost his ship, but he won a victory that was more important than he realized. The British lost over 300 killed and wounded, while the Americans lost but two killed and seven But the Important fact was this: this squadron was part of the expedition then gathering at Jamaica for the purpose of seizing New Orleans, and they had attacked the General Armstrong to capture her and use her as an auxiliary vessel.

But the British squadron was so crippled that It did not reach Jamaica until ten days later than the expedition had expected to leave there. The expedition waited for Commodor Lloyd and that delay was fatal to Its expected results. For by the time it arrived in Louisiana, General Jackson had completed Ills defenses for that city and the world knows the result of the battle which he fought there on January 8. 1815. (E).
