From the Richmond Dispatch, 6/6/1862, p. 2, c. 4

To be Court Martialed. – A man named Jas. Summerfield is now in confinement in the guard house of the Assistant Provost Marshal, of the 3d district, corner of 6th and Cary streets, awaiting trial for desertion and swindling. It is said that proof will be adduced to show that he has joined four or five artillery corps, among which are the Deas and Letcher batteries, and deserted immediately after getting the bounty money. The Government has been robbed of considerable money by such characters heretofore, and it may be that an example will be made of the prisoner.
