Lynchburg, Va., Novr 18th 1867

Bvt. Brig. Genl O. Brown
Asst. Commr. Dist of Va.

General:

I have the honor to report that I have taken the testimony in the case of Ned Horton Ced. charged with shooting three cold men on the 22d of October, submitted it to Genl Wilcox & that by his direction I have turned Ned, over to the Civil Authorities for trial.  I could find nothing in the evidence, that the affray had its origin in Hortons having voted the Conservative ticket - as asserted by the press

Very Respectfully
Your Obt Svt
