The sentence of death in this case is hereby commuted to imprisonment for during the war, in one of the military prisons to be designated by the Secretary of War. A. LINCOLN

AGO General Orders No. 76, March 31, 1863. Lincoln's endorsement is on the court-martial record of James Snowdon Pleasants, a citizen of Montgomery County, Maryland, convicted March 8, 1863.

For what crime had James Snowdon Pleasants been convicted and sentenced to death?
