April 29, 1863, Arkansas True Democrat (Little Rock)
We learn that Curtis, the chief or head of the cotton card swindlers, was met by Mr. S. Wilson, the sutler of Col. Glenn’s regiment, some few miles this side of Memphis. Wilson brought him part of the way, but when within twenty miles of Little Rock, Curtis succeeded in effecting his escape. We learn further, that Curtis gave up thirty-one or two thousand dollars in Confederate money and about eight in gold, which, we suppose, will be divided among his victims.
