Moore's command, was inspecting the guard at the Libby prison, a gun exploded, causing the death of one or the Yankee prisoners. The Colonel had the gun in his hand inspecting it, and in examining the lock the hammer slipped from his thumb and exploded the cap driving both the ramrod and bullet through the flour of the guard-house above, where the prisoners are confined. The bullet and a portion of the ramrod lodged in the lower position of the prisoner's body, inflicting a wound which caused his death in a few hours afterwards.
