Dr.Richard Mudd

[J Hewitt]

Back in the early 90's I had the good fortune of being able to write to and get responses back from the grandson of Dr Samuel Mudd (Dr Richard Mudd). We exchanged several letters, and I at the time had been reading several books on the assassination causing me to give pause to the idea that maybe Sam Mudd was innocent. My letters to Dr Mudd reflected those views. But after more further reading my conclusion is Sam Mudd was guilty as charged. For instance the Tyler/Tyson story did not add up, as well as many other falsehoods that Sam told the authorities. In one of my last letters I wrote to Richard Mudd, I stated that I had to change my views on his grandfather, and I thought he was most likely guilty. To my suprise he stated that he himself was never 100% sure, and even some Mudd Family members believe Sam to be guilty.

Richard Mudd lived to be 101 years old.
