Must Prove He Is Alive in Pension Case
Columbus Negro Drawing a Pension Reported Dead a Score of Years Ago. Peter Smith, a colored ex soldier, living in this city, has been called upon by no special agent of the Pension Department to furnish proof that he is alive. He entered the army from Massachusetts and was wounded, among the first civil war pensioners. For nearly thirty years he has drawn a pension of a monthly sum. When he asked for his last installment he was informed that his case was under investigation and payment would be withheld. A pension agent then visited his home to arrest him for pension fraud, but Smith proved he is the rightful recipient and was not arrested. The department will now investigate the widow who claims to be dead.
