PONTIUS THE GERMAN.
Facts to Prove That Pilate Was Not a
Roman.
A letter from Neuss-on-the-Rhine to the
New York Star says: A year or so ago I
sent you a long letter from this city orient
the old legend that Jesus Christ was cruci
fied by Germans in the army service of the
Romans. The truth of this assertion T t ri*-d
to prove, first, by furnishing the most ex
traordinary circumstantial evidonee ever
introduced in this case; and, secondly, by
quotations from the works of historians.
The circumstantial evidence introduced
set forth the discovery of some old tomb
stones of Jewish soldiers, members of the
Twenty-second Roman Legion, in the tower
of a certain castle, Huelchrath, situated
about midway between Neuss, the old Ro
man fortress, Novesium, and .luolich, a city
which wus also founded by the Romans
under the name of Julueum. 'Castle Hueleh
rath is a complication of old, middle-aged
and new buildings—that is to say, its oldest
part was erected during the reign of im
perial Rome on the Rhine. During the
middle ages some buildings were added to
make it a formidable fortress, and the pres
ent century is responsible for the more mod
ern annex.
Only the lower part of the tower is of
Roman origin, and that part is built of
heavy basalt stems intermingled with the
thin, long and peculiarly shaped bricks used
by the Romans, and serving as a kind of
mortar.
At about fifteen feet above the ground or
dinary bricks constitute the building mate
rial. and continue as such to the top of the
tower, where largo grayish stones protrude
in measured distances.
The latter are the tombstones in question.
They have Hebrew characters inscribed on
one side, signifying that they once served to
decorate the graves of Jowish-Roman sol
diers stationed at Julueum. As the lower
part of the Rhineland has very few stone
quarries, and as the old Germans were not
particularly in love with Jews and had no
regard whatever for their religion, the em
ployment of tliejr gravestones for building
purposes doqs not seem very strange.
The stones are inscribed only with the
name, the birthplace and the military sta
tion of the dead. For example: “Abraham,
the son of lesias, from Gethseniane, 22d Le
gion, Julueum.” They bear no date, proba
bly as the Jewish soldiers were not allowed
to employ their own chronology, while their
religion forbade them to use that of their
conquerors. But this omission is not so
very important, after all, inasmuch as the
missing dates cap be guessed at with a con
siderable dogrfe of accuracy by the fact
that all the Roman coins found in Julioeum,
Novesium and vicinity were coined in the
seventeenth and eighteenth year of the reign
of the Roman Emperor Tiberius, if not
bearing the likeness of Augustus.
It is, therefore, evident that a Jewish-Ro
man legion occupied that part of Germany
at tiie time of the crucifixion of Christ—
during the eighteenth -year of Tiberius’
reign—and, furthermore, that they left
their posts and forts shortly afterward never
to return again, as otherwise coins of a later
date would nave been found.
So far, so good.
But, I hear you remark, the fact that a
legion of Roman soldiers recruited in Pales
tine had been stationed on the Rhino during
the time of Christ’s crucifixion does not
prove that Qhinelanders w ere doing service
in the Roman army at Jerusalem during
the same period.
Your.point is well taken.
It does not prove it, and it has never been
proven in a direct way by anybody or by
anything before. The assertion that, the
Romans had a system of exchanging soldiers
between .t wo provinces m such a way as to
send the trtferuits from a newly acquired
provincoeni!. /this ease Palestine—to an
older, more loyal one—in this case the left
bank of the Rhine —and vice versa, is, of
course, merely circumstantial evidence.
Besides, it seems almost incredible that
this system should have been carried out to
such an extent as to keep the soldiers of two
different provinces for a longer period in the
exact locations provided for them under this
system.
John Kitto, Heinrich Heine, Corvin, Er
nest Renfin and others say that the German
legion was at Palestine during the period of
our Lord’s persecution, and that soldiers
of this legion had been the executioners of
Christ,
But thej r fail to substantiate their asser
tion by reference to contemporary history,
as I did also in my communication on this
subject.
Since then I have, however, made amends
for my former negligence, and consequent
ly lam now prepared to elicit from the
hooks of Tacitus proofs for this and other
assertions.
In his admirable book about the Germans
and the Roman-German wars this eminent
and always correct author says:
“Germanieus, wnth a chain of fortified
posts, scoured tho whole country between
Fort A!iso and tho Rhine. At that time
Licambri dwelt between the River Luppia
(now Lippe) and the land occupied by the
Chattians” [later on called Hessekassel].
The first part of this sentence verifies my
assertions in regard to the probable age of
such Roman fortresses as Juliceum and
Novesium.
Founded by Germanieus, Julueum was
quite mi old place for an army post in a for
eign country at the time of Christ’s cruci
fixion. Therefore it docs not appear strange
that tho soldiers occupying this fort con
sidered it their home dud acted accordingly.
The erection of gravestones certainly is a
manifestation of the at-liome feeling. Sol
diers who are merely camping out in a for
eign, wild country are not likoly to decorate
tho graves of their dead comrades in this
foreign country to any great extent. If sol
diers do such a thing it may be inferred
that they have been stationed at the same
post for a considerable time, and that they
expect to remain where they are.
The following from Tacitus also furnishes
additional proofs to the facts and assertions
stated above:
“At this time (the thirteenth year of the
reign of Tihorius),” says tho Roman histo
rian, “the two und twentieth legion sta
tioned on the left bank of the Rhine begun
an insurrection; tho one and twentieth fol
lowed their example.
“Disloyal as they wore, they said the time
had como when the army might redress
their grievances and retaliate tho cruelty of
the Roman centurions.
“Their doctrine was that the fate of Romo
was in their hands.”
Tlio word “Roman” coupled with “centu
rions” gives evidence that tho revolutionists
wen; foreigners.
From what, country did tbeso foreigners
come }
Tacitus; but. from the fact that he do< s not
call these foreigners “barbarians.” as usual,
it may bo assumed that the legion was re
cruited among tho highly cultivated Jews.
Tiie language employed by the revolu
tionists adds to that belief.
"They might redress their grievances.”
“They might retaliate tho cruelty of the
Roman centurions.”
Does not this sound like the old prophecies
of Isaiah, Jeremiah or Ezekiel, predicting
tho utter dissolution of existing things while
their people were kept in captivity and
bondage(
And furthermore: “The fate of Romo is
in our hands.” Almost tho same words
were spoken by tho Prophet Ezekiel In re
gard hi Babylon, when ho was trying to
keep alive the Jewish national loolfna. and
*l*o to quiekeh and purify the religions
hories and aspirat ions of his time.
Having established tho existence of a
Jewish-Roman legion on tho • left bank of
Die Rhine at the time of Christ ’l persecu
tion und sonic years previous to that , wo
must now show that, til*' German legion,
w’hleh is known to have boon at Jerusalem
du'T.jj tiie game period, had been conqiObod
of Rhinelanders,
Homo modern German authors treat this
assertion u* u mutter of fact.
Emanuel Goihel and Ferdinand Freili-
K-'"uth, lor example, speak of the Gemma
soldiers attending to the execution of Christ
a* Ixdoiiging to the tribe of the “Chattians
llxutteo). tu these authors arc known ia
literature as poets and writers of fiction
only, not us historians, but Geibel as well
as Preiligrath was a student of history', and
so eminently well informed about all mat
ters relating to tho early history of their
people—the former being a professor of
German history at the Munich University—
that, their statements must be treated with
consideration.
The testimony of contemporary his
torians, however, carries greater weight,
and I found such in the often quoted Taci
tus. We learn from his first and second
books uliout tho Germans:
1. That Drusus and Germanieus had their
stronghold on the loft bank of the Rhine.
2. That “these Generals first succeeded in
conquering the tribe of Chattians after tho
Chattians had quarreled among themselves,
and the Butavi, a sistor tribe, had gone over
to the enemy.”
3. That “to preserve the peace of the
provinces they took tho best warriors from
there to distant provinces.”
4. That “the Chattians were a very rest
less tribe, and ( hat Germanieus was in the
habit of ordering his legion commander,
Silius, to the lower Rhine to keep the Ciiat
tians from breaking the peace as often as he
himself went on a military expedition.”
The question now arises" to what “distant
provinces” were the “Chattians” sent? Taci
tus is silent on tins point. It is, however,
learned from other contemporary writers
that they were taken to Rome, and, after
some years of drilling in the Roman mode
of warfare, sent to Asia Minor to fight the
barbarians.
There, one of them —a centurion of noble
birt h—rose into notice as a strategist, was
promoted to the rank of commander of tho
German legion, succeeded in subduing the
barbarian tribes, and received in conse
quence the title of Pontius, and was finally
sent to Palestine as military governor or
“procurator” of Judea.
This successful German was Pilate, known
in history as Pontius Pilate., the ruler under
whom Cnrjst suffered.
Pilate was the son of a German king of
Mayenzo (Mainz). Tyrus by name, and his
mistress, the daughter of a miller. Shortly
before tho time when Drusus captured
Mayenze, in the year 13 B. C., young Pilate
killed his brother, the heir to the throne.
He was to be executed for this crime, but,
luckily for him, Drusus then appeared be
fore the walls of Mainz, and, having cap
tured the city, demanded a son of tho king
as a hostage of good fait h.
Kii ig Tyrus deli vered Pilate to the
He was taken to Rome w ith other Germans
and educated for the army. (See John Mo-
Clintock’s “Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theolog
ical and Ecclesiastical Literature.”)
From the fact of Pilate’s promotion to the
high office of Military Governor of Judea
it may be assumed that he was left in com
mand of the German (Chattiau) legion
which fought so gallantly under him in Asia
Minor. And as the Romans had no special
executioners, the execution of criminals
beiug intrusted to the body guard of the
“procurator” or Military Governor, who
was also the highest judicial authority, it
must be concluded that soldiers of his, the
Chattain German legion, executed Christ.
Anent the fact that Pilate was a German
a good many old legends are current among
the German people. One of them says that
Pilate tried to drown himself in the river
Tiber, but that the waters refused to accept
the disgraced foreigner, and that God then
bade lum seek his native country and try to
reform his people.
Pilato—sf/the story goes—w r as willing to
follow this command, but when he reached
Switzerland remorse overtook hint, and he
drowned himself in a little lake, which up to
this date bears the name of Pilate Lake
(“Pilatus See.”) The people living in the
neighborhood of this lake believe that Pilate
is still at the bottom of the lake, and that
he rises to the surface on stormy nights,
looking over the waters, wringing his hands
and crying aloud.
Prinz Eugene, called “tho noble knight,”
one of the heroes of tho thirty-year’s war,
declares that ho fears to go to that region of
Germany, where the Chattians—the execu
tioners of Christ —formerly resided.
A TALE OF ARMY BRUTALITY.
Claiming to be a New York Clerk Im
prisoned for Another Man’s Crime.
m From the New York Sun.
Chicago, July 25. —William J. Manning
is staying at one of the principal hotels.
To a reporter to-day ho related this tale:
On the evening of Nov. 16 last I left Dor
land’s, in Twenty-third street, where I was
employed in New York, and went to Del
monioo’s uptown place to have some oysters.
I was approached by a well-dressed man
who acted politely and in a way that led mo
to think that he hail seen me before. He
addressed me courteously and inquired
my name, which I gave him freely.
“Your address, please,” he said.
“Dorland’s, in Twenty-third street,” I re
plied. He made a note of my answers and
said, abruptly, “Hood evening.” “Gocd
evening, sir,” said I, in a distracted kind of
a way, for I was mystified by the sudden
ness of the well-dressed stranger, who had
forgotten to leave me his name. Next day
I received a message requesting mo to call
at No. 56 West street, New York. Won
dering what it meant, I went without 10-s
of tine to the place indicated in the note.
It proved to be the branch office of the
United States Armv recruiting depot. On
the door was a small placard with the in
scription :
“Apply hero for enlistment.” Here’s
some fun, I thought. I’ll request to bo en
listed in the army, just for a joko.
“The Sergeant in the outer offico received
me coldly, and when I told him I wanted to
he a soldier he looked me over carefully.
When that ordeal was over he declared I
was too small. Then ho said it was too late
in the day, and to come around to-morrow.
I insisted on being taken then aud there, for
1 was bent on finding out something
iny mysterious letter.
“Well,” ho said, “come in,” and 1 entered
a poorly furnished olHco where an officer in
uniform sat at a desk. The examining
physician was also there. When I explained
my mission the doctor laughed, and said:
‘‘Why, my boy, you are too youug and
not big enough to be a real soldier. You
can’t enlist.”
“Gentlemen,” said I, “I do not want to
enlist, but came here to demand an explana
tion of this letter,” whereupon I produced
the note.
The officer read the note, nnd said: “I
know that writing,” and then he called a
Sergeant. The Sergeant, whoso name was
“Tom” Hartley, of the regular army, re
sponded to' the call, ami in linn I recognized
tin* person who had addressed mo at Del
mouico’s.
“Sergeant, do you know this lad 1” asked
the officer in command.
“Know him! Well, I should say so. He’s
a deserter. Horan away from tho army
four years ago. He was then in the recruit
ing rendezvous at Jefferson Barracks, Mo.”
He laid his hands on my shoulder and
dramatically told me that I was hits priso
ner. To say that I was thunderstruck
would not describe my feelings. 1 almost
fainted, so gn at was the shock. Of course,
I denied the charge and declared thut I hod
never been in the army aud never wanted to
he. 1 culled their attention to tho fact that
four years ago 1 was only If years old. The
head officer said ho would havo to act on the
word of the Sergeant and I must remain
under arrest until they could get tho de
scription list from Jefferson Barracks.
“But Ibis is nil outrage,” I said; “to con
fine me. is the lame as kidnaping.”
They nil laughed at me and Haul that wns
the wav deserters always talked, fltilj pro
testing, I was handcuffed nnd taken over to
Governor's Island. My clothes wpre taken
away from me and an old blue uniform
placed at my disposal. I whs put to work
with a gang of military convicts on n sea
wall, where I was compelled to labor in
water tip to my knees. I could not quit
work, under penalty of living shot by a
guard who stood over me with a cocked re
volver. In two weeks’ time I was sent to
Jefferson barracks, where I was thrown into
a filth v prison with thirty other .prisoners.
Tliev looked twelve-pound shackles to my
unkles. I lmd to work at hatsl labor, ■con
stantly undor guard. One night 1 was
abused and made sportj of by men for whom
THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, JULY 20, 1887.
punishment of that kind had no terror.
Whether I had slept or not, I had to go to
work tie' next day just the same.
Onoe I refused to work through sheer ex
haustion, and was strung up for it. My
hands were looked behind me, and a roi>e
was then tied to the luuulcuflfs and thrown
over a beam. It was then drawn up and
mv arms were pulled behind me t ill I hung
by my wrists two feet from the floor. The
irons cut deep into my flesh till the blood
poured from the wounds. After forty min
utes of agony I was cut down. I was then
tied by a rope and my shackles to a cart.
My body touched the earth, and I was
dragged for a mile over the frozen ground.
I was allowed bread and water and given
double work to do because of my revolt.
This lasted from November to January,
when I was tried by a court-martial. Cant.
Henry Wessel was president of the court
and Lieut. George Chase, judge advocate. I
was not permitted to say a word in my own
defense. Of course, I was convicted on
Sorgt. Bartley's evidence. The trial lasted
just twenty minutes. I was sentenced to
four years’ imprisonment and without loss
of time I was shipped off with a colored de
serter to Fort Leavenworth military prison,
in Kansas. On my arrival there i was
dressed in prison uniform and put into a
stone quarry to work.
This unheard of outrage was perpetrated
on me, an innocent man, by the United
Stab's army ottlcinls and their aides. lam
to-day a ruined man, broken down in health,
almost insane ovor my misfortunes, and
with no means of securing reparation.
But, to continue my story, I at last
brought proof to bear on the indifferent
officials in the War Department in Wash
ington, and with the aid of a surgeon’s cer
tificate of disability, I secured my release
after four months’ imprisonment. I was
given $6, a suit of cheap clothes and a
ticket to Chicago. This princely sum for
the abuse and imprisonment, for the loss of
my health, for the death of my mother,
caused by the shock of my imprisonment.
I appeal to the American public for its
opinion on such an outrage, and ask, as an
American citizen, if it is pot worthy of some
thought; I’m going to tell the boys and
young men to keep away from the army ns
they would from a location infested with
small-pox. I may be a little bitter against
it. but 1 think it is pardonable.
“My dischrge from the prison shows that
I suffered for some poor lad named Ernest
Berry, who deserted four years before I was
incarcerated for his offense. His home,
when he enlisted, was in Cincinnati. I
have never been there in my life.”
