From the Richmond Sentinel, 2/11/1864
Stampede of Prisoners. - One hundred and nine Yankee
officers made their escape from the Libby prison on Tuesday night, and seventeen
of the prisoners confined in Castle Thunder levanted from that institution on
Monday night. Captain Hayward’s cavalry left the city on yesterday, in pursuit
of them. It is hardly probable that many of them will succeed in getting off
entirely.
