away. replied that they had not an earthly chance
OF being released that one Of them had been
taken TO Manassas and the other to Richmond

stated to him that no other man on earth, not even
brother, would be allowed to leave Manassas
and return to this city; but that the peculiar cir
cumstances in his case had induced them to re-
lease him.
