Capture of Jeff Davis Explodes Fake Story - Philidelphia, Pa,, May B.—Cds per Knobet, of Philadelphia, the ‘honest Swiss who was a private on the fourth Michigan cavalry and was one of the captors of Jeffer son Davis, told his story of the capture here today. Even the younger northern historians still follow the old sensational ac'-* count of the capture of Davis in‘ woman’s clothes and Professor Dodd, a recent southern biogra- ‘ pher of Davis has cone the same thing. Yer Casper Knobet, one of the fourteen union soldiers ac tually engaged in the capture, pro tested against the story as far back as 1865 and has done so for pub lications several times since. - He earnestly declares that when Davis stepped out of the tent to surrender, his wife threw a shawl over his shoulders. The early morning air of May 10, 1865, be ing chilled. Knobet, being only a few feet away, distinctly saw all that occurred and he declares that this was the sole foundation of the slanderous tale. As our clders will recall in tho: e times many men in Georgia wore blanket shawls instead of over coats, & custom probably due to the straits of war and the block ade of a country without native manufactures, but Knobet sup posed that the shawl belonged to Mrs. Davis and at any rate she placed it over the shoulders of the president of the fallen Southern Confederacy. Casper Knobet, whose story is full in detail and absolutely con vincing, is now a core maker in an iron foundry at the age of sixty eight and lives at 1400 South ‘Second street, On May 10 he ex pects to celebrate the forty-seven ‘th anniversary of the most memori al event of his life.
