A prosecution for treason was instituted against him in the district court of Virginia, but he was not brought to trial. A number of prominent citizens of the North who had been so active in their support of the war that their motives could not be suspected, ex- erted themselves to procure his release on bail, and became his sureties. He was ac- cordingly released on bail on the thirteenth of May, 1867. During the following year the indictment against him was quashed by the government. During t...he latter part of the civil war a vexatious and bloody warfare with the Indians broke out on the frontier. It began in 1864, and extended through 1865 and 1 866, and until the fall of 1868 its ravages were spread along the frontier through Southern Colorado into the Indian Territory, causing severe suffering to the settlers of this region. By the winter of 1865-66 the war had assumed such formidable proportions that General Sheridan was sent with a con- siderable force against the savages. The vigorous measures of Sheridan, and General Custer's victory over the band of Black Kettle at Wacheta, brought the war to a close in the fall of 1868.
