 After the war, John Druecker, a rioter, sued the former governor, Edward Salomon for throwing him in jail. 

"John Druecker...brought a suit against ex-Governor Salomon...claiming damages in the sum of $16,000, for alleged false imprisonment....It appeared in evidence that the plaintiff had taken part in the riot....In the defense it was shown that there was hostility to the draft and disturbances in consequence."
