I then told the Major what Scott had stated to me, and he expressed some distrust concerning his (Scott's) honesty. I then questioned Scott about his being a detective, and he said he was here with one of the chief detectives of Philadelphia, named Franklin. After this, I telegraphed Deputy United States Marshal J. W. Sharkey, of Philadelphia, to learn whether Scott's statements were true or false. The answer received (which is here produced) was that Franklin had not been in Richmond since the evacuation. I then had Scott arrested, and requested him to show his authority for representing himself as a United States detective.--He replied that he could not do so. It was in consequence of his representations that he was a secret agent of the Government that I gave him credit for his board. W. F. Corkery,
