The elaborate space given to prison riiles andexperiences during the Confederate War exceeds vkiai -was originally in- tended, so that the order of the articles is somewhat irregular. In a sense, there is repetition of expression in a few brief in- stances, but the needed emphasis will excuse that. Other im- portant features are necessarily held orenh'for another issue. When the hope of securing a picture ^.f -Captain Wirz was well-nigh abandoned, the following telegram was received from H. R. Schade, Washington, D. C. : "No picture of Wirz in family. Only one in existence, prdperty of government. Can have copy made by artist for half-tone use for ten dol- lars. Wire if you want it." The reproduction is here given.
