Description
“Got His Pension Money” In the United States Circuit Court yesterday morning in the case of James H. Mayo, alias Phillips the jury brought in a verdict in favor of the defendant and Mayo was awarded pension money amounting to over $800 that has been tied up pending his identity, as the claim was made that he was not the one who should receive the pension money.
In the trial it was developed that Mayo is the son of ’’Little Bill" Hunt, who was a slave in Platte County, Mo., and who enlisted in the First Kansas colored regiment in 1862 and died afterwards at Fort. Smith, Arkansas.Date(s) of Creation
