IL " through Lieutenant Williams that

Lieutenant William, says that jake Poe
never received more than $50 or gao oil The
bOuuiy-moncy. but he did not know how
10 account for the nom payment OF the sum.
Whether the money was forwarded and ap-
never sept. De could not say. There was
then a military law that no substitute
could be engaged in the immediate rear OF
the Federal army. and as this portion OF
tennessee came under the law. Jake Poe
was mustered in rs coming from Alabama.
Soon after ihi. event the Fortieth regl-
