NAME NOT VOW on THE ROLL.
Result of the investigation I'm the
Pickett-Camp Matter.

! The investigation Of the charges which
! led Pickett Camp to so industriousIy set
| about the purging Of the membership roll
has reached It's final stage.
The statement made by Mr. Winfree
that the roll contained the name OF one
man, at least. who had deserted the Con-
federate cause and joined the northern
ranks. has been sifted thoroughly TO the
bottom. and the committee charged with
the investigation will be called together
to-day, probably, to formulate a report,
20 be submitted to the camp next Mon
day night. and with the presentation OF
that report the incident will be finally
closed.
1t will be remembered that at the last
meeting of the camp q letter from Mr..
Winfree was read. in which that gentle
man offered 10 point out the name OF the
man on the camps roll to whom he had
reference in his charges. and said, If, for
any reason, the name did mot now APP
pear there. he would give a certificate
TO that effect He will. i'm this latter
contingency, refuse TO make known the
name Of the man, to whom he is under
obligations for kindness shown when Mr.
Winfree was taken prisoner during the
war.
All this is preliminary to the statement
that IL has been ascertained that the
name of the deserter does not now appear
on the camps roster. Further invesu-
CATION has shown that the man was
never enrolled as a member, though his
name was proposed by a prominent vete-
ran, and when the ballot was opened II
was found that he had been blackbailed.
The man is at present a resident Of
Richmond though he is absent from the
city a good deal. He is said to draw
pension for service in the northern army.
At the outbreak of the war he was I'm
the South, and in order to get home. he
Joined the Fourteenth Virginia Regiment,
deserving as soon as the opportunity Of
fered itself Upon only one occasion. IL
is said, did he turn out with Pickett
Camp, and that was on Hollywood Me-
morial-Day He appeared on parade in
a Confederate gray coat, with badge
but on being told by some one who knew
his record that the wearing Of the gray
would jeopardiZe his pension, he left the
ranks and went home.
When the camp meets on Monday night
Mr.. Winfree's certificate will be present
ed and, il Is presumed, accepted, sipce
II Is the manifest desire of a majority
of the members of the camp to let the
matter drop az soon as possible.
