On comparing this signature with those
made by Booth on the books of the New Haven
House, 1t was found to be genuine.
There were also found q large number OF
suspicious papers, among them two passes,
signed by H. 5. Parsons, General Sheridan's
Adjutant General, ore Of which bore date De-
cemb 8, 1854, and was 10 permit NJ. Lemos,
scout, to pass out of the lines and return; while
the other bore date December 9, and was to
permit M Lemoe, q scout, to pass cut OF the
lines with two men and lead horses, to Char.
lottesburg and return.
The police Immediately started in pursuit in
al directions, but after two weeks Of uuremit-
ting search, were compelled to give it up.
About two weeks after the man left the city,
soldier called at the Provost Marshais office
and asked for transportation home, saying that
he was a scout in Sheridans army. On being
asked If he knew a scout by the name OF Lemos,
he replied that he guessed he ought to, for he
had spent two months In prison with him in
Richmond. He then gave correct description
OF the man. 1t is thought, judging from the
other facts, that this man became Union scout
In order the more readily to accomplish a
freacherous purpose.
