From the Richmond Whig, 4/12/1865
A REMARKABLE CASE. - Mr. J. G. Conner, of Baltimore, was a
prisoner in Castle Thunder up to within a week of the evacuation. Eight long
months he spent in that gloomy dungeon. The charges against him were that of
being a spy for the Union, and inimical to the government of the Confederate
States. Mr. Conner found himself at liberty in the turmoil and excitement of the
evacuation, and having displayed his true colors, again, is engaged in effecting
some arrests which are very important to the government, and which no other man
could have brought about.
