You understand, Judge Ould, that these men are prisoners of war in your charge as Exchange Commissioner?
Ould
I am painfully aware of that fact, sir—and the responsibility is not to my liking.
Benjamin
While in Richmond, they are to be held under the strictest guard and on no conditions allowed a liberty except by my order, or the order of the President.
Ould
I can trust them here with you, I hope, for half an hour?
Benjamin
You can. Show them in.
