Lincoln approved the sentence of Peacher on January 27 and ordered execution (DNA WR RG 153, Judge Advocate General, OO 1188), but sent this telegram afterwards. No record of further action by Lincoln has been found. General Miller telegraphed on January 31: ``Your dispatch ordering that the execution of C. E. Peacher be stayed until further orders has been recd'' (DLC-RTL).
