Judge Peckham Jury Charge Concerning Military Commission

[SSlater]

This is amazing - I am searching for details of this court, since they decreed that Sandford, Merritt and Montgomery, {Richard Reynolds Montgomery) committed "Perjury. rank Perjury", in their testimony to the Commission.
My interest, right now, revolves around the fact that Montgomery's name does not appear in the U. S. Census from this point on. He is shown before 1860, but not after the war. He is clearly identified as a child, followed by his marriage and fatherhood. After this trial the "father" of the children is shown as UNKNOWN. (Is this Perjury?)
His trouble came about because he was a Double Agent - but favored the Union. (He was a Major in the Adjutant General's Office). All of his testimony was labeled Perjury (by the defense).
I.m trying to figure out if he was PUNISHED for his "Perjury, or was he PROTECTED , by the Government (by hiding him). and he did tell the truth. (I will keep you informed in another posting)
