Prisoner of war tells of a Union money lender in Charleston
An ex-Union officer held at Charleston in 1864 recounts a peddler of Confederate money who loaned drafts on northern families at high rates. The con artist, famed for access to parole and hospital visits, amassed about 50 000 in drafts before being exposed. He was carried to Washington after an exchange, but his bag vanished from a steamer at Fortress Monroe, leaving no trace of the drafts.
