From the Richmond Enquirer, 8/8/1862
SECURE. - The officer prisoners, who escaped from
confinement a few days ago, are being pursued energetically and with a strong
probability of success. The two who were recaptured on the Rappahannock lines,
Lieut. E. Hatch and Lieut. Masters, were locked up on Wednesday night, in a cell
in the Greanor prison, but were to be released from such close confinement when
other quarters can be secured for them. We understand that they will be among
the last to be exchanged, if exchanged at all; if not, they will be paroled, of
course, which will, no doubt, suit them better.
