Diary and Letters of Rutherford Birchard Hayes

Shiver Mansion, January 21.1 — At 3:30 A. M. Captain McNeal and fifty or so of his band kidnapped Generals Kelley and Crook from their hotel on Baltimore Street. Daring and well executed. They inquired for me but on learning that I quartered in camp did not look further.
