Almarin Cooley Richards

[Susan Higginbotham]

Apologies--I was on my way out the door and mis-paraphrased Richards. In his letter of June 10, 1898, he wrote, "Months before the scenes [Stewart] describes are said to have been participated in by him I had caused his arrest in connection with a large amount of R.R. bonds. . . However, no serious charge in connection with said bonds was sustained. The transaction was somewhat shady that is all as I remember it." So he didn't claim to have arrested Stewart before the war, but during it.
