federate army, during the late war was captured at Piedmont, in the
Valley of Virginia, about June, eighteen hundred and sixty-four,
and taken to Camp Morton prison, where he was confined till the
ninéteenth day of February, eighteen hundred and sixty-five; and
whereas said Andrew Austin while so confined in said prison con-
tracted fever which settled in one of his legs, which has ever since
been greatly enlarged, with several running sores ever since, thereby
almost totally disabling him from manual labor and entailing upon
him a perpetual expense:

auditor of public accounts be directed to enrol] said Andrew Austin
on the pension list as entitled to the pension provided by the laws
of this state to those soldiers who were totally disabled by reason of
wounds received while in the discharge of their duty, to-wit: thirty
dollars per annum; provided that the facts here alleged shall be
proved before the county court of Washington county.

2. This act shall be in force from its passage.
