Re: Was a physical description really necessary?

Well first of all you are making too many assumption. IF they were caught again. IF they went back to the same area. Certainly IF they did all these things their identity would be know well before any communications could be forwarded from Camp Chase to the arresting authorities. For that matter of fact the arresting authorities would have to have had a pretty good idea that these two ladies had been arrested before before they would have requested such information. (In my opinion)

Yes the description MIGHT have been of some assistance in the identification process. BUT as I was pointing out in my description of the white Male, etc. etc. How many people do you see every day that match such general information as is given in the description of any Prisoner of War? How many women in the south would have fit the basic (and that is what I am talking about) description of these two ladies in question? The description is so Basic as to be useless for any real identification purposes without some other incident or factor contributing to a reasonable suspicion.
