On his return to St. Louis he was called on for evidence against his partner, but was unable to give any other than the general street talk. He tendered his resignation in September, 1862, which was accepted the January following, when, he said, that he and two others started South for the purpose of joining the Confederate navy. He did not seem to think that Hart caused his arrest, although he evidently entertained no good opinion of his old partner.
