FW: GDG- "Loose Bolts Sink....."

[Tom Ryan]

<<All such as can be identified as having been engaged in bridge-burning are
to be tried summarily by drum-head court-martial and if found guilty
executed on the spot by hanging. It would be well to leave their bodies
hanging in the vicinity of the burned bridges.

Margaret,

	Is it known whether this order was carried out, and is there any evidence
that Union authorities were able to tie this activity directly to Benjamin?
