not1 be improper to speoify thte exact arul
ca of woman's appiarel whicoh he had upon

states that lie "was one of the thrtee per'sons

Inlatie wr'appad about Ils head, through
tie top of which could be seen locks of

F~ourIth litebigan cavalry, states explicitly,
fat.a Davis, in aciditiotn to his full soit of
Conftederate grey, had on1 "a lady's water
piroof cloak, gathered at the waist, with a
shawl drawnl over the head, and carrying
a till pail." Colonel Pritchard says' in hIs
olhioihl report, that ho receIved fromt Mrs.
Davis, oti board the steamer Clyde, off Por

whlicht was worn by Davis as a disguise, and
which wats idetinfed by the mnot who saw It
