A correspondent of the Free Press, writing from the 13th Reg., Washington Oct. 14th, speaking of their treatment while in Baltimore, says:
This morning as the boys were waiting for breakfast a man appeared selling apple turnovers, and many bought of him. In a few minutes pounded glass was found in one of the turnovers, and the peddler was speedily pelted for a mile with his own turnovers. Before he was out of sight an officer came along in search of him, and said five men had died from the poison after eating pies bought of this man. One of our regiment was sick after eating the one he bought, but is now all right.
