From the Richmond Examiner, 6/23/1864
CHANGED SIDES. – Yesterday morning, while the roll of
Yankee prisoners at the Libby was being called, preparatory to sending a lot
South, among those who responded was A. J. Carden, who was recognized as a
former Lieutenant-Colonel of the Eighteenth Tennessee regiment of the
Confederate States army. He was booked as a private, belonging to Company K,
Second New York Independent Rifles. His real character unmasked, he was removed
from among his betters and sent to Castle Thunder, where he awaits the decision
of a court martial, which will soon decide his fate.
