The raiders arrived in Versailles on July 12 where they robbed the county treasury of $5,000. Hobson was four hours behind. The raiders left Versailles at 4 p.m. and headed northeast toward Sunman. They stopped two miles south of Sunman at the Ferris School, where they camped for the night. Unknown to the raiders, on the railroad siding in Sunman, were 2,500 Union soldiers sleeping in boxcars.

At 5 a.m., Monday, July 13, Morgan and the raiders resumed their eastward ride. Although extremely tired from the rigorous travel and the lack of sleep. The raiders continued to leave a path of destruction. The advance guard of Morgan's cavalrymen crossed the bridge into Harrison, Ohio, at 1 p.m. The Great Raid through Indiana was coming to a close. AS the tail of Morgan's column made it into Ohio at about 7 p.m., one last bridge was burned.
