Ramsay, that her father was one of the three who went to the coast with the famous f'rench Marshal, en route to Ameri ca. immediately after his "execeuti m." Rowan county people are extreme ly interested in the facts that point toward the doubt of Marshal 'Ncy's execution, because many of them be lieve that tile famous Frenchman is buried in the Third Creek graveyard near Cleveland under the plain slab inscribed "Peter Stuart Ney, native of France and soldier of the French Revolution under Napoleon Bonaparte, who departed this life November loth.- 184(1. aged 77 years." Mrs. Arnold wrote Mr Ramsay in Artier to find out whether he could give her any" information as to where she eonid secure a copy of the book "His tori'* Doubts on the Execution of Marshal Ney.” Officer Under Napoleon. "My father was an officer under Nap.lcon for nine years and was in the battle of Waterloo," she wrote, explaining why she was so interested In securing the book, a ropy of which she had borrowed from Dr. .T. Edward Smoot, of (’uncord whom she met in Asheville recently. "My father l’aschal I.uciani,” she continues, "is buried in Montgomery. Alabama, having died there in 1853 at the age of (15 years. "My mother and father died the same day of yellow fever which was prevalent there at that time. At that time I was 13 years old. After their death. I went to Wilmington, N. where I was reared. My s’ster owned a nice plan tation on the Cape fear. Os coarse l regard North Carolina nsjpy holin' place, although born in Philadelphia, j where my father was French consul j after his escape from the battle of ( Waterloo, and remaining French eon- j sul for several years, but preferred ; the south and came here. Ney Died in North Carolina. "While in Asheville Dr. Smoot oh-1 tallied a copy of Historic Doubts of the Execut’.m of Marshal Ney. I read the book witii great interest fur 1 Marshal Ney. Marshal Lafebre and my j father escaped to the c oast together. ! Marshal Ney going to Charleston. Mar-1 shal Lafebre going to Philadelphia. Marshal Ney was never executed and died in North Carolina. "I>r. Smoot told me in one of his letters that perhaps I could obtain a copy of the historical doubts writ ten by Kev. Mr. Weston by writing to you, or perhaps you could inform me where 1 could get it. Kin to Napoleon. "This was my reason for going into j detail as to who 1 am. My father i was barn in Corsica and his father was | first cousin to Letitia Itobilein, Napo leon's mother. Thomas Watson, of Atlanta, before his death paid a visit I to Corsica and wrote very ’nteresting- i articles and sjKtke of my grandfath- j er.” In physical appearance Marshal New and Peter Stuart Ney. the man | who taught school in Rowan counts, j and who is buried in Third Creek Church yard in 1846, were similar: and they are declared to be the same man by such historical authorities as General Hill and Judge Pearson, and a number of Rowan historians who have studied closely the character of the Rowan school teacher who was famous in his day and the history and circumstances surrounding the death of the famous French Marshal. Admitted He Was Ney. Thomas D. Graham, of Davidson, who helped nurse P. S. Ney. the teach er, in his fatal illness, according to a paper prepared by B. D. McCubbins, Clerk of the Rowan Superior court, who has studied all available data on Ney, said that he admitted himself to be Ney a short while before he died. Quoting Mr. Graham. Doctor Locke, Ney’s physician,' told Ney he bail but a short time to live, "and we would like to know from your own lips who you are before you die." Mr. Ney, calm and rational raised himself on his elbow and looking Dr. I.ocke full in the face Baid, "I am Marshal Ney, of France.” Two hours later he died. If I*. S. Ney is not the French Mar shal. little is known of his past, and it is hard to conceive of a man of his learning, and one who gained the re nown as a teacher and eduentor he did so late in life in an age when few at tained any unusual deg re# of educa tion or knowledge of the art of war. If the historians are right and P. S. Ney was Marshal Ney. He camo to Mocksville from South Carolina, where he was recognised and there are some authorities who claim that he was also recognized while en route to America. Older people in Salisbury, whose fathers attended the school of the fam ous educator, all know that he was an authority on military tactics and especially, familiar with the campaigns of Napoleon and would talk for hours on the Russian campaigns and often alluded to Waterloo .and St. Helena, but mention of the last two seemed to trouble him sadly, according to Burgess Gaither, of Davidson, a pupil. While he never admitted he was Marshal Ney unless the death bed admission is authentic, some who have studied the bits of history which have been pieced together, say he frequent ly in hht depressions Indulg' d too free ly in the cup that cheers and made re : marks that indicated he was Ney, oi France. And the lamost unmistakable evi dence that hg did drink heavily at times are the only local bits of h’e tory that have caused doubts as to hia being Marshal J|ejr. Ney of Fraofek didn't drink to, excess. But would j not the secret of the man. end hit grieving for the fate of his formei comrades and hie Banishment.. causa him to resort to «ng drink? thooi who firmly brfi«*ve him to be the xj famous Frenchman say. c< Doubt Ney’s Execution. J> But before P. S. Ney can be doctor- -* ed Marshal Xey. of Fraboe, all doubt j' ,as - to the execution of Ney must be ll settled, and in this book which is j rl sought by Mrs. Arnold, who is satis-1 '• tied that Xey was not executed. Rev. »' Mr. Weston and others point out a I !t number of significant facts which I" make it easy to believe that Xey was l '' not executed ns ordered by .chain- ’ 1 ber of Peers for his effort to restore Xanoleon to the throne. Xey's execution was ordered .to 1 take place on the plains cf tircnele. but according to a newspaper aecouut of “the 'executin’ was in a elandes- tine manner for all w'.io were eon-) neeted with this detestable transac tion were ashamed of it." The Duke of Wellington at the X time one of the most powerful figures 7 in Europe, sought to appeal for clem- a enc.v for Xey. who. according to the stipulation of the surrender of Paris, was to be granted amnesty. . He was also ordered to be shot by his own men and various historical 1 data vnries ; n the number of bullets taking effect. 1. Secret Burial. The burial was held before day- J break, ami not even attended by bis wife who loved him devotedly, t f Jn Mr. Weston's book he quoted *■ from Mr. Thomas F. Houston, of HoOstouia. Mo.: “In the fall of lSt’4 I read in a F Dayton paper the account of an inter- * view between a Journal reporter and an old French soldier. Philip Petrie, who had oner belonged to tin" com- £ mand of Marshal Xc.v. He stated to V the reporter that after the fall of Xa ]w>leon and the rupture of Xey. he de serted the French army and shipped . as a seaman on board a vessel bound ( from Bordeaux to Charleston. S. C. He'noticed after sailing, a man whose appearance struck him very forcibly as some one who he ought to know, £ At last it flashed across his mind V that it was his old commander. Mar shal Xey. He sought the first oppor tunity to satisfy himself, and the next £ time the mysterious personage ap- V peared on deck, Petrie approached him and. told him he thought he knew him. He replied, 'who do you think 1 am?' Petrie answered 'My old com mander, Marshal Xey,' In a gruff tone the man responded. 'Marshal Xey was executed two weeks ago in Paris,' < and turned around, walked to his cab in and was not seen again on deck during the entire voyage of thirty-eight days. Petrie said he knew Marshal Xey was not executed. • P. S. Xey was recognised in George- Q town, 8. C . as Marshal Xey in 178!) by some French refugees, who had fre quently seen Marshal Xey in France, ]i according to Chapman Levy, a distin- i j guished South Carolina lawyer. Xey ji left Georgetown and was never seen I there again. Attempted Suicide* Col. John A. Rogers, or Florence. ]i is quoted by Mr. MeCubbins in his pa- ij per as saying that P. S. Xey appear ed there in 181!» as a French refugee , j and left in 1821. shortly after he ar- 1 rived, he dismissed school, spent sev- jl eral dayg in his room where he burned i! la large quantity of papers, and per | liaps everything that might identify , i him. He did not appear the next day i I and was found in his room where he | had cut his throat, but us the blade of : the knife was broken his life was 1 saved. After being reproached he ' said: “Oh, Colonel, with the death of I Napoleon my last hopes are gone.’ He j disappeared shortly afterwards. Other evidences of his recognition ' and disappearance are quoted by prom- \ inent people in Statesville and other i ] places. 1 1 Execution Faked. Rev. Mr. Sadler, of Pennsylvania. ] a French colonel who was sentenced i to be shot with Xey says: "One of 1 Ney's influential friends had charge ] j of the execution, and halted the squad i ! at a lonely place on the way to the, appointed place of execution. There Xey was placed against a blank wall and the soldiers fired, directing their aim. however, at a point just .above the head. The empty coffin was duly buried, but the supposed occupant was in the meantime making a swift jour ney for America. After several years spent in close retirement and study, he put in h's appearance in Rowan county. Xorth Carolina, and opened np a private school for boys.” Virtually all of the data in the above article was secured from the paper of B. 1). MeCubbins, who has studied the various writings on P. {?. Xey and the Doubts as to Marshal Ney's Execution. Mr. MeCubbins , visited the tomb of Ney while in France during the war.
