The next information furnished by
Maddox was contained in a letter dat.
ed Richmond. Nov. 20. 1868. He says,
Universal gloom hangs over the
south" He explains with some detail
how 1000 men could LAND on the Pa

In June. 1864, Maddox was under
arrest in the Union lines and confined
in Carroll prison. He made an appli-
cation to be released on his own pa
role. and by direction OF the secretary
of war this was done.
In November of the same year Mad
dox seems to have again been in high
favor. Hanson A. Risley, special
agent of the treasury department for
the purchase OF products of the insur-
rectionary states" made a contract
with Maddox and others for the pur-
chase of tobacco, turpentine and resin
Risley asked safe conduct within the
Union lines for Maddox and his part

The Confederate government was
warned against Maddox July 4. 1863,
In an anonymous letter. "If there is
no secret understanding" writes the
informant. between Maddox and our
government he is undoubtedly spy.
He is certainly on very social terms
with the Yankees. For twelve or
eighteen months of the war he was
pretending to raise a company OF
Marylanders. which he mas never
found it convenient to do. He Is an

During the summer of 1863 Maddox

stranger than fiction. The claim has

3. Secretaries Randolph and Sed-
and a number of officials OF the
aderacy. many army officers, treas
officers and others who were well
fwn during the civil war. With his
he on the records of several de-
rtments of the United States and in
e Confederate archives, with a vast
emount of documentary evidence, it
fnas not yet been determined whether
Maddox was a loyal Union man and
valuable spy. whether he was true to
Dixie and a spy within the Union lines
or whether he was shrewd trader US
ing two governments to make vast
I rtune.
Maddox. according to his own state
ment. was born in Georgetown. d. c.,
and was about thirty-three years old
when the war began. Just previous to
the war he bought farm on the banks
of the Potomac in st. Mary's county,
Md. He was at one time editor of the
New Orleans Crescent and had also
lived in Virginia. He acknowledged
that his sympathies We're with the
south Mt the beginning of the war. but
that he opposed secession. Previous TO
the battle of Bull Run he was in Rich
mond and soon after returned to the
north side of the Potomac. In 1861 he
was arrested for disloyalty and con-
fined at Fort Warren. but was subse
quently released and soon after again
went to Richmond. He had a pass
from Secretary Seward countersigned
by General Mcclellan. He said he
went on business for Mcclellan and ac-
complished what he went for.
After one of his visits to Richmond
he called on Colonel j. L. McPhail. pro-
vost marshal for Maryland, and con-
WINGED that officer that he could obtain
valuable information about the Con-
federacy, and through McPhail's intlu-
ence he became connected with the
government service. but was never in
the government pay. He became a
trader In products of the south. carry
ing goods from the Union side into the
Confederacy and purchasing tobacco,
turpentine and resin, which he brought
through the Union lines. disposing Of
his wares south and north at large
profit. He traded upon Confederacy
currency and, in fact, was doing very
extensive business. His last venture
and the one upon which his claim is
based was in 1865. Through agents in
Richmond he bought 4,042 boxes of to-
bacco. paying for it S1.92l. .944.5O in
Confederate money. This tobacco, un-
der orders of General Grant, was cap
tured near fredericksburg, large por-
ton burned and the remainder tax
en- and distributed to the colored troops.
