The Case of Bradley T. Johnson in the U S Court
Summary
Describes the court case of Bradley T. Johnson, formerly of Frederick City, in the U.S. District Court. The Central Bank of Frederick says it is owed slightly over $900 from the estate of Johnson and has a libel suit against Johnson. There is also an issue because Johnson was an officer in the Confederate Army. However, according to the truce signed by Gens. W. T. Sherman and Joseph Johnston, Bradley Johnson's rank was only that of colonel, so he was paroled. Johnson's lawyer asked that the libel suit from the bank be dismissed and that Johnson's property, currently in process of seizure, be restored. The District Attorney, Wm. J. Jones, Esq., came into court and dismissed the libel suit. [from Baltimore Com.]
