II became apparent now why Milroy
had shown such anxiety to have these

who had given them the pass, made use
of such language to his superior officer
because the pass that he had given had
been dishonored that he caused him to
be placed under arrest. Whereupon he

yes!igation and sent the officer who had
30 kindly befriended the girls at the
picket post and afterwards to request
them to appear as witnesses in his behalf.
But their friends, fearing they might be-.
come further involved, declined to allow
them to appear, and Gen. Cluseret left

he had not joined it, he said, 10 fight
