That he held Confederate office he does not attempt to deny save by coupling with it a qualifying clause that would relieve any confederate mean enough so to make so base a confession as that he served one government while secretly favoring another. Among his more corded exploits in behalf of the oppressed "Union loyalists" is a trip that he made when in command of a detachment of Confederate cavalry to arrest prominent Union men in Randolph County Alabama and bring them to Montgomery for trail. He was liberally supplied with Confederate money and did not hesitate to aid in hunting down the small class of men to which be now claims to belong and which he appears to be in most harmonious affiliation and over whose "wrongs and oppression" he simulates so many briny tears and affects so much eloquence.
