Philips, Eugenia, By official publication from the office of Maj. Gen. Butler, Mrs. Philips, who was last summer imprisoned in Washington, was on Monday (June 30) condemned to imprisonment to Ship Island until further orders, as "a bad and dangerous woman, stirring up strife and inciting to riot. "
The specific offense charged against her is, that during the funeral procession of the late Lieut. DeKay, she was laughing and mocking at his remains, and on being interrogated by the Commanding General she replied that she was "in good spirits that day." (N.O. Commercial Bulletin -Wed. July 2, 1862) (VF Philips)
