In his (Green's) hands to be used to detenu tho

state that I have received several letters ut the
same character frnin my lellow-priaonera, all ol
whom believed firmly that funds had been de
posited by Col. Jacob Thompson In the hand
of Col. Green lor that purpose, lit fact, I have
a let It r from Col. Thompson slitting the same
things but I have never learned ol Col. tjreen'a
making auy such appliance of the meney. lu

about the same time and charged With tbe same
ofteuse that 1 and maiiy other were, to-wil: A
conspiracy to release ibe Confederate prisoners

Imprisouuitnt, Green was released, and the rest of
us, or those selected mid t ailed the leaders, weie
tried by a courl-mai nal for our lives. IMunik
