More on James Wardell. As we all know, the detective force in Washington in 1865 was augmented by qualified people brought to Washington by Lafayette Baker, and others, to catch smugglers, deserters, counterfeiters, etc. particularly in the Assassination era. With that in mind, James Wardell may have come to Washington on "special" duty. Therefore, I hunted around for candidates named Wardell. I found one good lead - James Wardell, working in the Detective Bureau of the Police Dept. in New Haven, CT. At the moment I can't figure out how to track him, and I am working on a Update of the Sarah Slater's story. If anyone can take a whack at this job, your efforts would be appreciated.
