The Daily Dispatch: October 13, 1862., [Electronic resource], A "Sharper." (search)
A "Sharper."
--It is stated that an officer of a company lately made a good financial speculation, (if a gross fraud can be called "good,") in recruiting in Connecticut.
He enlisted about thirty men in Hartford, sold them to another captain at $10 a head, got his own pay and bounty, and then enlisted as a substitute, selling himself for $450, got the cash, went into camp, ran the guard at night, went to his own lown, procured the town bounty of $200, and then, with a pocket full of rocks, disappeared.
