In addition he and others were compelled to pay heavy damages for alleged seizures by the Confederate army. Taken prisoners at the very beginning of the War, after a long confinement, he became so ill that he was paroled. But was soon after arrested and for a long time confined in a Federal Fort as a state prisoner without (as it proved) any specific charges being made against him whatever.]
