LAR|k0RE NAIL
POUCH IS STOLEN
Government Detectives are
Probing Supposed Crime
Thursday Night.

Federal detectives and postofY1ce in
spectors are busy at Larimore probing
the disappearance Of the government
mail pouch from the depot platform
Thursday night.
Investigations LAY made it certain
that the pouch was thrown off Great
Northern train No. l as usual, and
there appears to be no doubt that it
was stolen.
From the time the pouch was
thrown from the mail car. however,
all trace of it disappears. and the de-
tectives are vainly seeking clews to
the identity OF the persons who re-
moved it.
Interfering with the government
mails is a serious offense. carrying
with it a heavy penalty. and the gov
eminent is relentless in it's pursuit of
those guilty of such offenses.
1t was at first supposed that the
mail clerks on No. 1 had failed to
throw the pouch off as usual. but later
Investigations have absolutely disprov-
en- this theory, and the inspectors are
convinced that a crime las been COM
mitted.

Sends List of Twenty-Five Hanged.
On February Il Gen. Peck had sent to
Gen. Pickett a list of the fifty-three men
of the Second North Carolina Infantry
who had been captured near Newbern,
and asked for them the same treatment
In all respects as you will mete out to
other prisoners of war"
Under date OF February II Gen. Pickett
thanked Gen. Peck for the list, saying
that 1t would enable him ito bring to
justice many who have. up to this time.

II herewith return you the names Of
those who have been tried and convicted
by court-martial for desertion from the
Confederate service and taken with arms
in hand duly enlisted in the Second North
Carolina Infantry. L. s. A. They have
been duly executed according to law and
custom of war" The list bore the names
of twenty-five men.
On Feburay % Gen. Peck. not having
received this letter. and having heard
rumors of the hanging of some of the
North Carolina men. wrote Gen. Pickett
saying that he hoped the rumors were
unfounded and that. having reported the
he had been instructed to notify Gen
Pickett that IL the members of the North
Carolina regiment who had been cap
tured were not treated as prisoners of
war the .'strictest retaliation" would be
enforced. He added that two colonels
two leutenants, two majors and two
captains of the Confederate army were
being held as hostages at Fortress Mon
roe for the safety of the North Carolina
prisoners.
These officers have not been placed
In close custody, because the authorities
do not believe that any harm is intended
by you to any members of the Second
North Carolina Regiment" wrote Gen.
Peck.
"Blosd VIII Rest Upon Yos."
When on February n Gen. Peck learned
OF the death of the twenty-five Caro-
stoned letter. in which he said the men
hanged had ever been loyal to the
Union, continuing: "In view of their un-
swerving and unfagging loyalty,
cannot doubt that the government will
take immediate steps to redress these
outrages upon humanity and to correct
such gross violations Of usages of civil
lied warfare. In any event. my duty has
been performed and the blood of these
unfortunates will rest upon you and your
associates"
Gen. Peck closed by saying that "the
execution of these men and similar pro-
ceedings elsewhere evinces a most ex-
traordinary thirst for life and blood on
the part of the Confederate authorities.
Such violent and revengeful acts resorted
to as a show of strength are the best
evidences of the weak and crumbling
condition of the Confederacy."
1t does not appear from the official
records that the United States govern
ment ever went to the extreme of hang
ing Confederates in retaliation of the
execution of the twenty-five North Caro-
lima soldiers hanged by Gen. Pickett. His
point that they were deserters from the
Confederate ranks was a hard one to
meet. ana as deserters. under the laws
of war they were liable on capture to
death by hanging. .r.-
