#OTD Dec. 3, 1867: #DrMudd, #SamuelArnold, & #EdmanSpangler, still imprisoned at @DryTortugasNPS, were interviewed regarding their involvement. A congressional committee angry with Johnson’s amnesty measures hoped the conspirators had dirt on Confederate leaders. They didn’t.
#OTD Oct. 13, 1904: #SamuelArnold wrote to author David Miller DeWitt recounting his recruitment and involvement in #JohnWilkesBooth’s plot. DeWitt included the letter in his book: The Assassination of Lincoln and Its Expiation. I find Arnold’s words about #EdmanSpangler &…
#OTD Oct. 4, 1867: 1.5 months into the Yellow Fever epidemic on @DryTortugasNPS, #DrMudd contracted the disease. With the Fort now down to a single doctor, Mudd was left to fend for himself. He was taken care of by his surviving cell mates, #EdmanSpangler & #SamuelArnold.
Lot 13 in my auction is a vial of sand and some shells from Fort Jefferson, Dry Tortugas. The current bid is only $15 for these samples of the island prison that held conspirators #DrMudd, #SamuelArnold, #MichaelOLaughlen, & #EdmanSpangler: https://t.co/HRQzvrqyBX
#OTD Aug. 10, 1825: #EdmanSpangler was born in York, PA. As a carpenter, Ned helped to construct the Booth home of @SpiritsTH & then worked for John T. Ford in Baltimore & @fordstheatre. While within the orbit of #JohnWilkesBooth, most consider Ned to have been innocent.
#OTD July 29, 1858: Future @fordstheatre stagehand #EdmanSpangler married Mary Brasheare. Their marriage was a short one, however, as Mary died at the age of 49 six years later. The @DrMuddHouse found Mary Spangler’s unmarked grave at Baltimore Cemetery as few years ago:
With a whole lot of research and some luck, we were able to locate the unmarked grave of Mary Spangler, wife of Edman Ned Spangler. According to an obituary, Mary died on July 24, 1864 "after a long and painful illness, which she bore with Christian fortitude and resignation."
#OTD July 23, 1865: Dr. George Porter, accompanying the conspirators on the ship to @DryTortugasNPS, wrote that they were “very despondent”. In particular, he noted that #EdmanSpangler’s “goodness seems to have vanished.” The next day they arrived at Fort Jefferson.
#OTD July 11, 1865: Benn Pitman, hard at work editing his transcript of the conspirators’ trial, wrote to Thomas Ewing asking for any corrections to his closing arguments for #DrMudd & #EdmanSpangler. Pitman was trying to “make a symmetrical thing out of a great heap of rubbish”.
#OTD June 24, 1869: Recently pardoned “conspirator” #EdmanSpangler had an article published relating his arrest, trial, & imprisonment at @DryTortugasNPS. You can read the @fordstheatre carpenter’s lengthy statement here: https://t.co/j3XAWArCW2
#OTD June 20, 1865: Thomas Ewing presented his closing argument in defense of #EdmanSpangler. Ewing expertly discredited each part of the government’s flimsy case against the @fordstheatre carpenter whose only crime was having a poor choice of friends. https://t.co/RBRp4BfvTw
#OTD June 18, 1865: After guards noticed that #EdmanSpangler’s mind seemed to be wandering, the conspirators were examined by doctors Porter & Gray, who recommended they all be given outdoor time & reading material. Most of the conspirators got an hour of time in the prison yard.
#OTD June 13, 1865: The penultimate set of defense witnesses took the stand at the trial:
Much of the testimony related to #MarySurratt
@fordstheatre actor John DeBonay assisted #EdmanSpangler’s case
#SamuelArnold’s father cried while visiting his son

#OTD May 31, 1865: It was a day of brothers at the trial. John T. Ford & his brothers took the stand on behalf of their @fordstheatre employee, #EdmanSpangler. Collectively, they helped disprove several of the prosecution’s claims about Ned’s supposed involvement in Booth’s plot.
#OTD May 22, 1865: Prosecution testimony was heard regarding #EdmanSpangler helping to set up a stables for #JohnWilkesBooth behind @fordstheatre. Also, among the visitors to the courtroom today were Gen. George Custer & his wife Elizabeth. https://t.co/Z2TR2wiYEP
Today’s #ArchivesHashtagParty theme is #ArchivesTrees! When #EdmanSpangler came to live at the @DrMuddHouse he recounted, “I came down last night, & asked some one to tell me the way here. I followed the road, but when I arrived I was afraid of your dogs, & I roosted in a tree.”
#OTD Apr. 17, 1865:
#SamuelArnold was taken into custody at Fortress Monroe, VA
#MichaelOLaughlen surrendered himself in Baltimore
#EdmanSpangler was arrested in D.C. As #MarySurratt was being taken in for questioning, #LewisPowell showed up posing as a laborer & was arrested too
#OTD Apr. 10, 1865: #JohnWilkesBooth asked #EdmanSpangler for help in selling the horse & buggy he kept in his stables behind @fordstheatre. These had been intended for JWB’s now abandoned kidnapping plot. It would take a few days, but Spangler eventually sold them for $260.
#OTD Mar. 7, 1865: @fordstheatre employee Tom Raybold broke the lock of the Presidential box in order to seat some late arriving patrons. This was established by #EdmanSpangler’s defense at the trial after it was implied that Ned may have damaged the lock to aid #JohnWilkesBooth.
#OTD Mar. 1, 1869: Andrew Johnson issued pardons for #SamuelArnold & #EdmanSpangler imprisoned at @DryTortugasNPS. #DrMudd had been pardoned on Feb. 8, but the order to release him was en route. The pardons of Arnold & Spangler were among the last acts of Johnson’s presidency.
#OTD Feb. 7, 1875: Former @fordstheatre carpenter #EdmanSpangler died at the age of 49 at the @DrMuddHouse. Though convicted & sentenced to 6 years, most historians consider Ned to have been innocent but we’ll have to wait for @HvyMtlHistory’s upcoming book to be sure. 😉
