RE: Richard Reynolds Montgomery-Spy Extroidinary
More on Richard Montgomery....
By now you know he was said to be a Spy, for the Union. I don't question that for a minute, even though he was labeled a liar - for his testimony in the trial of the conspirators. For those who don't know much about this guy....briefly, he testified that Jeff Davis approved the demise of Abraham Lincoln.
His testimony was transcribed by Ben Pitman, in secret. It was kept a secret for at least a month when it was leaked to the public Keeping his testimony a secret was intended to protect him from zealous confederates who might do-him-in for saying what he did. That was very considerate of them, but has anyone tried to find him after his testimony? There is nothing. I can produce details of his life from his birth - though his marriage - through his testimony - and then Nothing. Did he hide somewhere? Did someone get him?
I can follow his wife and children, up to their graves, but not one
word on Richard. I'll put some time on the other "two liars" to see if they met the same fate.
