Judge James Barnes Yager was sent to Gratiot and also charged $1,000.00 Bond. Suspected of being a member of the Knights of the Golden Circle he was brought before the Provost Marshal. He said the only organization he belonged to was the Masonic Order and had been a member for 33 years. He was released and returned to Westport where he lived the remainder of the war.
