Foster refused to go further and Pres't Lincoln pardoned all who had been convicted. This is matter of record. Among the parties prosecuted was one Weisenfeld of Balt--a jew--and a man of irreproachable character and unquestioned loyalty While that suit was pending, with W in jail, Worsly approached a friend of his and represented that for a certain sum, divided between himself and Col. Foster, the case would go off without a trial, and so worked upon him that of his own notion he turned over to Worsly $7000 in five twenties? of his own friends We knew nothing of this--nor of course did his counsel and it first came out on the trial of W when Col. Foster produced Worsly and said he had a part of the funds in his pocket. This was the only bad item in the case and Weisenfeld was convicted. This was the last of those famous or infamous cases.
