"I [Captain Doherty] proceeded to the barracks...and in less than half an hour had reported to Colonel Baker. I took the first twenty-five men in the saddle, Sergeant Boston Corbett, being the only member of my own company. Colonel Baker handed me photographs of the assassins of President Lincoln. He told me no troops had yet been in Fredericksburg, but that I must reach that vicinity with all dispatch. He introduced me to E.J. Conger and L.B. Baker of the detective force, and said they would accompany me." [Source]
