The Death Warrant of Timothy Webster, Union Spy, in Richmond April 29, 1862

            Richmond, Va, April 19, 1862

“A verdict of guilty followed quickly upon the heels of the partial and antagonistic charge of the judge, and Timothy Webster was convicted of being a spy in the employ of the Federal authorities.”

“Not even then did the brave spirit break down. Firm and heroic he received the fatal verdict, and the satisfaction of his enemies was robbed of its value by the unflinching deportment of their victim.”

“After the trial, he was remanded to a cell, and closely watched. But a little time elapsed, and then came the warrant for his execution.”

“An officer appeared in the cell, the paper was produced, and the faithful, brave, true-hearted man was condemned to be hung on the twenty-ninth day of April, but ten days after the approval of his sentence.”
