Notes.
Note A. Book I., chapter I.
among the companions of Morgan was Captain Gurley, who had killed General McCook the preceding year, when he was commanding a band of guerillas.
This act was considered by the Federals a murder, and the father of the victim, a vigorous old Kentuckian, though more than seventy years of a e was authorized, for his own defence, to bring before the council of war witnesses belonging to the hostile army provided with passes.
He was able to prove that McCook, sick and lying in an ambulance, had been surprised by his men, but that, instead of halting, the wagon had fled, and that he had fired the fatal pistol-shot a few seconds only before McCook had given the signal of his surrendering.
He was therefore clear on this count, but he could not prove that he or his companions were enlisted, even as mere sharpshooters, in the service of the Confederates.
Not being a case of self-defence, he had therefore acted as an outlaw and not as a soldier.
