Pumphry and Booth's Spurs

[Dave Taylor]

If anyone knows when James Pumphrey was arrested (following his statement on April 15 to Col. Henry H. Wells), if he was, indeed, incarcerated at Old Capitol Prison, and if he was released prior to his testimony at the conspirators' trial (or after?) I would appreciate it very much.

From my records, it doesn't appear that Pumphrey was ever arrested. His name does not appear on any of the lists I have regarding those imprisoned or released from the Old Capitol Prison. He had practically nothing to do with assassination story so I doubt there would have been any reason to arrest him.
