i I i i i Mr. Hunter told one thing which may lead tO an Interesting and important historictti discovery. John Drown had with him when captured at Harpers Ferry a carpet-bag in which were his constitution for a provisional government and other papers. kle had placed it in one corner of the engine house, and there it was found when the marines charged and captured the survivors. Mr.

Hunter took possession or the carpet-Dag and carried It to Charlestown. Ile kept it and Its conients. He added to the papers the let-tors which were forwarded to the prisoners and not delivered to them. Ordinary letters were allowed to pass to the prisoners after Mr. Hunter had examined them.

But those letters which seemed to contain information bearing upon the organization in the North, Mr. Hunter connscated and kept. He bad between seventy and eighty of these letters, and he placed them in John Brown's carpetbag. Other Important documents bearing upon the secret history ot the case went into the same receptacle, and much of the matter nobody but Mr. Hunter 1 JOHN BROr8 CAltrET-BAG.

And new for' the strange story or rate of this carpet-bag, as Mr. Hunter gave It to. day to the Gtonts-Dxstoottxr for its nrst publication. He said: "After the, war began I took this carpet-bag, Containing all these ImpOrtant paperil, to ItieliMond. I thOught that When the Northern troops reached Charlestown the Court Bulge would be overhauled, and anything pertaining to John Brown would be seized and carried ott.

And that was what happened, The carpet-bag and its contents were ken; Safely at the Capitol In Richmond until the war closed. At Sim time of Lee's surrender I was a member or the State Senate of Virginia. The news came from Lee that his lines had been broken, and that he could not longer defend Richmond.

Uncle Tommy Moore says that not long after be had carted off his wagon-load of papers to Lexington a body of Federal soldiers came down from Harper's Ferry and gutted the Court House. The papers and romans that remained were scattered to the four winds. Later the interior woodwork was torn out and carried off to make barracks. When the war came to an end there were the four walls and the immense pillars in front, anti nothing more, to show for the Court House. The intsrior was entirely rebuilt.

The Jail where Brown and his companions were confined was on the corner diagonal from the Court House. It was entirely demolished. The stone iwail along the street, which inclosed the Jail yard, was lert Stand- ing. and is there to-day.

Hunter Is a firm believer In the theory that John Brown was backed by a strong and widespread organization in the North.
