From the Richmond Examiner, 6/30/1864
CAGE ITEMS. - The only subject lodged in the lower cage
yesterday was an unfortunate negro, gobbled by officers Jenkins and Moore,
charged gravely with having an improper pass. All the doors of the cage, save
the solitary closed door in which the accused sweltered, swung on their careless
hinges; nobody to lock up; nobody to whom the attention of the police could be
called to; no murders, arsons, rapes, fires, thefts, no nothing but a blank,
undated docket.
