247 - L. Sept. 10: 4/4 - An undersized private appeared at the Provost
Marshal's office yesterday, asking for help. He stated that he had served
as a private in the 4th N. Y. Independent battery, and had been mustered
out on account of wounds. He said that he had been robbed of his money on
his way home to Indianapolis. ... He spoke in a whisper and something in his
bearing caused suspicion of his sex. Upon cross-examination "he" proved
to be a "female" She was put in the custody of the Ladies Aid society.

584 - L. Oct. 21; ed:2/1 - The "Copperheads" have been raising a tremendous
cry of fraud because the vote of Indianapolis was greatly increased over
that of previous elections, which was 12 per cent more than the enrollment.
Ten counties had three per cent of excess over enrollment, giving majorities
to "Copperheads." "If 'what is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander,"
there is ground for belief that there has been 'Copperhead' fraud in these
Counties." (3)
