You will see later on in Paine's statement that I quizzed him on the
same subject. I presume my information was not always reliable, but was
nearly so.

The following is quoted from an interrupted Confederate letter, in
speaking of Mosby:

"He is well off for Greenbacks since he captured those
paymasters on the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad line. When the
plunder secured on that occasion came to be divided up every
officer and man who assisted got $1,922.50. A good deal of
this money you have already got back. I will tell you how. Old
men and women residents in the neighborhood of Upperville, who
have gone within your lines and taken the oath of allegiance,
have been sent by Mosby and many of his men to Berlin, to
purchase goods: such as hats, &c., and have paid for these in
captured Greenbacks, and got the goods out to the Battalion."

This information was correct. I captured one man's part of the plunder
entire, or nearly so. The money was yet in its original shape, as issued
to these paymasters from the Treasury Department. I took it there and
they were able to identify the packages.

The capture was made in this way: One of Mosby's men named Dr. John A.
Kline, of Loudoun County, Virginia, came to Baltimore. He was
accompanied by his mother, Mrs. Mary A. Kline, and a niece, Nannie O.
Bannon. He became intoxicated, talked too much, and the whole party was
arrested. They were searched, the women by one of my female officers,
and the money, about two thousand dollars, was found on the mother, in a
belt worn next to her skin. We confined the women in a hotel, but were
finally forced to send them to jail, as the mother got intoxicated, and
so disturbed the other guests.

Kline was sentenced to ten years hard labor. The mother was confined
until the close of the war.

Appleton, for 1864, speaks of the train robbery, on page 156, as
follows:

"All that district of country west of Washington and
