L. at Talladega Ala Maj Theune was placed in arrest at Talladega on the 9" October 1866, on the charge of embezzlement of Government Stores, and directed to report at Montgomery. On his arrival at that place he was placed in confinement and has been so kept up to the present time. He was tried under the charges of embezzlement on the 8" Nov 1866, and the proceedings of the Court forwarded the same day, but no order or communication in answer thereto has been received. Supposed symptons of insanity commenced disclosing themselves a few days after his being placed in confinement which finally on the morning of the 9" inst culminated in violent and repeated attempts to break his guard, and it was found necessary to place him under personal restraint in order to ensure his safety. At the time of his trial the evidence of his insanity were not sufficiently conclusive to allow the Court to take any official notice thereof. Maj Theune was last paid by Bvt Lt Col Edwin Beecher Add U. S. A. to include the 30" Sept 1866. I have the honor to enclose herewith the certificate of Maj Theune's insanity.
