Marshal of Memphis, and under guard of
sergeant and three men of the I2Oth Ill.
He was heavily irOned, and on his arrival
was escorted to carriage and driven Lo
the Provost Msrshaps office, when Colonel
Ingram ordered him 10 be committed to
the Old Capitol prison. He was arrested
in Memphis July 10th, by Captain SWEET,
not on suspicion of being John H. Surrstt,
as has been said, but on charge of having
been engaged in the conspiracy, and it is
said the evidence against him is conclusive
he gives his name rs John s. Regan, and
states he is from Texas, and has been a
Captain in the Confederate service. He
bears singular resemblance in features to
the Surrstt family, but those who know
Surratt are positive that this man is not
he. He is dressed in gray, with light
slouch hat; is about five feet seven inches
high rather stern frame light; sandy
hair; fair complexion, slightly freckled;
light blue eyes; sharp nose, rather long,
and has the knuckle of the little finger of
right hand shot of, apparently by ball.
