[Sidenote] Geary to Marcy, Sept. 9, 1856.

Sterling G. Cato, one of the pro-slavery territorial judges, had been found by Governor Geary in the Missouri camp drilling and doing duty as a soldier, ready and doubtless more than willing to take part in the projected sack of Lawrence.

This news reached Governor Geary about midnight of his second day in Lecompton.
