I am so impressed how you (and others) dig and find this information. Thanks for sharing.

Gene. It appears that you got the two lovers mixed up - Conrad had her arrested, but Norton married her. (Which was worse?) . I have a unique problem with my findings, I have to be careful how I present the findings, because my audience might be a descendant of the person being presented. I have to be very neutral, and respectful.
Roger. Your comment made my point. NO ONE has ever heard of this guy. He needs some publicity. In one of Baker's books, he compliments Norton as HIS BEST DETECTIVE. This very rare for Baker. He makes himself to be the best of everything. No one can outdo Baker.
Norton's service record is a thing to behold. He enlists - in two days goes AWOL - comes back in 6 months, to get paid, and goes AWOL. His pay chits are signed by Norris (Chief of the CSA Secret Service). With that introduction, it is not hard to determine HE IS A SPY.
PS. Fannie Dade's Grand son,( maybe G G Son) is a very good friend of mine. He didn't know her background. He is an attentive listener, at all my talks. The family had disowned Fannie, for her promiscuity, so she was not mentioned in family gatherings. Her "sin", was she got mixed up with Yankees.
