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.” PAIN KILLER. jpler&Morbus I rdjnps folic jjiarrhoe^ \\ complaints IjYSeriterf Jll Cured by & teaspoonful of PerryDavisPcm filer in a little flit for Sugar and Water All £)rucgists Scllit. >j ZON WEISS CREAM.
