The Daily Dispatch: November 5, 1862., [Electronic resource], From Northern Virginia. (search)
om the Banks to the State Treasurer's Office for cancellation. It was at once suspected that the abstraction of the warrants and the forgery of the signatures were perpetrated by some one having access to the Auditor's Office, and inquiry was at once instituted as to who the guilty party might be. From circumstances connected with one of the warrants, which was made payable to W. D. Hartwell, and which received, in a batch of genuine claims of members of the Legislature, the signature of Maj. Cavort, the Treasurer, and from certain habits of surviving which he was known to indulge, suspicion was immediately fixed upon H. Hunter Taliaferro, who holds the position of First Doorkeeper of the State Senate. At the time of the discovery of the forgeries, young Taliaferro was absent from the city, at his home in Stafford county. An officer was dispatched to that county, and yesterday afternoon a dispatch was received from Fredericksburg conveying the intelligence of Taliaferro's arrest.
