Sent to Fort McHenry
Summary
Soldiers under the command of Adjutant G. L. Tyler of the 4th Regiment, Potomac Home Brigade, arrested Mr. John T. Sinn and his son, Mr. John H. Sinn and took them to Ft. McHenry. The two men have been in trouble before because the son instigated a riot in Frederick. They had been in jail and released. They are known Rebel sympathizers. The paper says that too much leniency has been shown to "Tories" in the past and a "sterner policy" must be instituted.
