[1] ALS-P, ISLA. No reply from Speed has been found. Lyman Guinnip, a dealer in agricultural implements at Danville, Illinois, had served as colonel of the Seventy-ninth Illinois Volunteers from August 28 to October 17, 1862. He was indicted October 24, 1862, together with one C. G. Bradshaw for aiding a slave to escape; John Smith Speed, brother of Joshua, was foreman of the grand jury. The Circuit Court Order Book No. 9 records the disposal of the case in the May term of court, 1863: ``The defendants having in the three foregoing cases deposited in court thirty-six hundred dollars in lieu of bail for their appearance and having failed to appear and suffered a default on motion of Commonwealth by attorney It is ordered that the Trustee of the jury fund pay over to him one thousand and eighty dollars being the thirty percent damages on said forfeiture which was accordingly done.''
