INCIDENT OF THE WAR.
a True Story of the Execution of
Two Union Deserters at
Verenna, Va.

It was in the fall of 1864, at the time
of high bounties, substitutes and draft
ed men. The command was serving
with at that time had lately had its
thinned-out ranks filed to it's proper
quota by conscripts and substitutes.
Bounty-jumping and desertion had be-
come a science that began to empty
the ranks in the field almost as quickly
as disease and lead. Out of the little
army at Verenna some 20 deserted in
one night, and the following night 1s
more.
1t became evident that something
had to be done to stop it. The officers
must find out whether the conscripts
deserted to the south or escaped north.
All officers of the picket line were Or
dered to keep sharp lookout for
tricks, while all transport captains
were ordered to look out for stow
aways.
Every morning about daybreak sup
posed southern deserters gave them
selves up to the union pickets. They
were then marched to headquarters,
where they took the oath of allegiance
20 the union and were sent north. 1t
chanced one morning that a captain Of
the union picket line recognized one of
the confederate deserters as a man of
his own company. He saw at once how
desertions had been conducted so sue
cessfully.
The soldier, conscript or substitute,
would crawl through the union picket
line at night and manage to swap or
buy southern clothing from the confed-
crate pickets. Then, when dressed as
a Johnnie, he would lie in concealment
between the two lines, and at daylight
give himself up as a confederate de-
serter, take the oath of allegiance, and
be sent north, where he would be free
to take thousand dollars or more, as
a substitute, or, under false name,
take big bounty and watch for the
first opportunity to desert again.
The captain who had recognized one
OF his own company in confederate uni
form informed the judge advocate gen.
eral of the army, who quickly gave
orders for commanding officers of COM
panies 10 come to headquarters, where
the deserters were held, to see low

soldiers. A large number of deserters
were detected, some Of whom were
proved to be bounty jumpers as well.
They were put under arrest and tried
for desertion.

were intercepted by the court-martial.
They were found to be guilty of for

fixed by division general order. The
division was ordered to march to the

why he didn't report to the sergeant,

Jordan to go to his quarters and sent
for the sergeant, who said that Jordan

examination, the surgeon said that Jor-
dan was not sick. told Jordan that he
must go and prepare himself. Before
the hour was up in which we were to

he was in fever. at once went with
him TO the surgeon and said: Here is

he hardly had time to become sick be-
