Respectfully forwarded to Col. O. Brown, Ass't Comr State of Va. 

The assault on the within mentioned Nat Russell was clearly proven before Capt Horges Asst Pro Marshal 1st Dist, but he refused to punish the guard. It was also proved that Russell was not under arrest at the time the Serg't beat him. I respectfully request that the appeal may be had from this decision of the P.M.
