Detective Murray Versus Confederate Agent On Lake Erie
John Wilson Murray, chief Inspector of Ontario, unmasked a Confederate plot to capture Johnson Island and free 4,000 prisoners. He tailed Cole and Irish Life from Windsor to New York, arrested Cole aboard the Parsons, and thwarted the raid on the U S S Michigan. Cole yielded a possible gold payoff but Murray refused.
