On reaching the Confederate piekets
Garretson set forth his claim, and was
passed on to report to the provost
marshal and be sent to his regiment.
SO far as he knew that regiment might
pc the very one which received him
He soon learned, however, that it was
stationed some miles away. His story
was unquestioned at first, but as he
was ready to be forwarded the colonel
OF a Georgia regiment sent for him to
ask MIN about men in his command
VINO had been captured at the same
time AS the spy was not posted about
them he naturally fell under suspicion
When taken to brigade headquarters
for examination he made a better
showing, but was held that his regf-
ment might be communicated with.
Then some very remarkable things
happened. The colonel after thinFing
things over declared fzarretson to be
all right, AMI he was released from
arrest and passed on.
When he reported tC his company
he was received without question and
it seemed to nave been agreed that
no man should seem tC suspect him.
These things aro1s.i his suspi IONS
and put him On his qua ii. He had en-
tered the camp for 4 certa in purpose
but no sooner As he detected trying
| to estimate tne Sfrer.Sth of the forc e
around him than he was again put
under arrest. This time it was his
colonel who questioned him. 1t so hap
pened that the man represented by
Garretson was a new recruit, and had
been captured five days litter joining
and before having had TINE to form
acquaintance.
For this reason none of the officers
were sure of him, and the majority of
the company thought him all right.
There were two recurits, however, who
had Joined the company at the same
time and were DOMINATES of the third,
/ and both of these men stated emphati-
cally that the federal was an impostor.
He was asked about the town he
claimed to hail fronts streets, build
| ings and citizens, and his answers APP
peared to be fairly satisfactory. Never
theless, he was held, and next day sent
to division headquarters to be ques-
toned anew.
There was a disposition to give him
a fair show, and at the end of his
fourth examination letters Were sent off

the battle of Antietam the federal
camps were overrun with confederate
spies. They had a far better show to
pass the lines than our spies did, as
every federal camp had it's hangers
on and hundreds of passes We're given
out. In six weeks less than eight
confederate spies were arrested and
held for examination, some being sent
to Washington to go before a military
court, but I believe that only one Of
the eight suffered the death penalty.
and then turned loose with warming
The federal scouts secured much
valuable information without running
the risk of the moose, but nevertheless
there were numerous occasions when
volunteers were called for to penetrate
the enemy's lines. The escape of a
private named Garretson, a member of
an Ohio regiment, was as curious a
case as has appeared in print. Having
volunteered in the spring of 1853 to
enter Lees camp, he took the role of
an escaped confederate prisoner. He
dressed in an old suit of butternut
committed his programme to memory
ana then boldly set out for the en-
envy camp. There had been half a
dozen skfrmishes along the front dur
eonfederates captured, and Garretson
was posted as to regiments and off,

member of the Fifth Alabama, and he

WITHIN ENEMY'S LINES.


During the war of the rebellion
whenever a union general wanted in
formation not to be had through his
scouts. he sought for someone to play
the part of a SPY. A colonel would
call his captains to headquarters and
ask who could recommend the man
wanted. and a score of men might go
up to corps headquarters to be ques-
toned.
When the right one had been found
he would be asked if he would under
take the work. There was no COM
pulsion or coercion. The perils of the
undertaking were made plain to him,
and if he was affrighted by them he
lost no prestige with his officers or
comrades. II willing, details We're gone
into and settled, and explicit instruc-
tons were given him and his disguise
planned. He was then regularly de-
tailed. so that if he never returned the
rolls of his company would show that
he died in the line of duty.
Before the campaign which ended in

to people whom Garretson claimed to
have known for years, asking for par
ticulars. Replies were received from all,
but queerly enough no two agreed in
their descriptions of the man, and that
was considered as much in his favor as
against him. His case was still hang
ing fire when a soldier came forward
from another regiment and said he was
a cousin of the man represented by
Garretson, and the two had been
brought up together 1t was certain
that he would either identify or de-
nounce him.
They worked a rather slick game on
the spy in making the test. He was
turned loose, and it was so arranged
that the cousin should approach him at
a campfire. Garretson saw the man
coming along in a careless way, but inn
mediately suspected that something
