Their testimony was so very damaging, that the defense had to discredit the information the only way they knew how - they had to discredit the informants. They had to discredit their validity.
Oddly, the testimony was given in Secret and was kept a secret through the first month of the trial. The information was made available when the information was leaked to the public. So, up until then, the defense didn't even know what was said. The whole trial was an oddity. The prosecution owned the Judge, they owned the jury, then owned the sentiment, THE SOUTH WAS GUILTY OF KILLING LINCOLN.
My interest in spies was born in me, in my own war. I was not a spy -I didn't look like ''them", I couldn't talk like "them" (I learned a few words), but I spent my time sneaking around in the dark, all alone.

John - Do you know exactly where Montgomery's wife and children are buried? Could he be in an unmarked grave? Is it in a large enough cemetery to have administrators with records going back that far?
