While Major Weymouth was at the head of the troops, he was also to command the prisoners and to see that there was no infringement of the rules and regulations. Major Weymouth was a Mason, and allowed the prisoners to make an appeal to the fraternity at Baltimore for clothing, which was sent to the prison, and he distributed it to them. Major Wirz occupied the same position at Ander- PRISON LIFE, POINT LOOKOUT, MD. 89 sonville in command of our guards, who were all white. There is no doubt that... many indignities of- fered prisoners at Andersonville were without his knowledge or consent. Mr. Oakley, who is at present yardmaster of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, was from an Ohio regiment, and served a term in An- dersonville. I heard him say that Wirz was a Mason, and that he had known him on many occasions to read the Masonic burial service over his dead. Mr. Oakley contends that Wirz was not a cruel man, yet the poor fellow was denied the glorious death of a soldier by be- ing shot, but suffered an ignominious death by hanging.
