BEATTY, Jerry - Civilian Servant. Capt. John Donaghy writes, "When Capt. Fahnestock of company C resigned and left the regiment, his servant 'Jerry' Beatty was thrown out of a situation, and as I was again without a servant I hired him. Jerry was thirteen or fourteen years of age and came from Pittsburgh with the regiment. Such education as he possessed seemed to have been acquired in attending variety shows. He had been a close student of the burnt cork profession [Black Face], and besides had natural talent in the song and dance business. I often called upon him to amuse my visitors, and sometimes when I went out with the boys I took him along. He had been in my service some weeks, and was one day cleaning Capt. Zink's revolver, and in going through one of his theatrical capers he pointed the pistol at the head of a negro servant who was present and in tragic tone exclaimed, 'Die, villain.' The weapon was discharged and the negro fell a corpse. The colonel ordered Jerry's arrest, and he was put in jail. The day after the tragedy Lieut. Neely visited Jerry and found him as full of fun as ever, saying 'there was no use crying over spilled milk.' An inquest, trial, etc., were dispensed with, and a few days afterwards Jerry was released and sent home to Pittsburgh.
