We have the most singularly fierce and independent Government in respect to outside sensation that you ever read of....” Memminger’s statement that Ripley was his own worst enemy was entirely accurate, for even though the pressing need for trained officers in the growing Confederate army led to his being appointed a Brigadier General just five weeks after this letter was written, his inability to get along with his fellow officers, regardless of whether they were his superiors or subordinates, led to his never receiving further promotions, also assuring that he wouldnever receive a significant independent command . with the letter is an additional * 206 document, pesumably in a clerical hand, which appears to summarize Ripley’s complaints against the Confederate administration.

50 BROADSIDE ANNOUNCING THE EXECUTION OF STEPHEN MERRIL CLARK FOR COMMITTING THE ARSON * 335 [EXECUTION BROADSIDE]. Published by the Salem Gazette on May 11, 1821, the day after the execution was carried out. Small imprint of a coffin with Merrill’s initials. The broadside details an arson “committed at Newburyport the 17th of August last, by setting fire in the night time to a stable of Mrs. Phebe Cross from which the fire was communicated to and consumed the dwlling house of Andrew Frothingham, Esq….” This execution became a major catalyst for the abolition of the death penaly for all crimes except murder in Massachusetts.

“...in 1820, a barn filled with hay burned to the ground in Newburyport. Just three days later, cries of “fire” alarmed the town again. Terrified residents were convinced they had an arson- ist in their midst. Sixteen-year-old Stephen Clark was arrested and charged with arson — a capital offense even when there was no personal injury or loss of life. The jury found him guilty but recommended commutation of the sentence. Nevertheless, the state hanged him on May 10, 1821. Clark’s case fueled the move- ment in Massachusetts to reduce the number of capital crimes, if not abolish the death penalty altogether. By 1852 only murder remained on the books as a capital offense. The Supreme Judicial Court ruled the death penalty unconstitutional in 1984. Nine years later, almost to the day, at two o’clock in the morning, a stable went up in flames in the heart of Newburyport. The fire spread first to two adjoining stables, then to two nearby homes. In a frantic attempt to contain the blaze, townspeople tore down a third home and a barn. The desperate measure worked.

The prime suspect was Stephen Merrill Clark. Known about town as a loudmouth, at 14 he had been fined by a magistrate for assault and battery on an old man. He had already failed at two apprentice- ships. His father was at a loss, because, to make matters worse, his son had become involved with “an abandoned woman,” one Hannah Downes. Before the fire, the father had approached the selectmen seeking help for his unruly son.

Within weeks of the fire, Stephen Clark was arrested and charged with arson. Hannah Downes, who herself had been arrested as a “night walker” and “person of lascivious behaviour,” had told her jailers that Clark had confessed to setting the fire. Informed of her betrayal, he made his own confession to the magistrate.

The trial began on February 15, 1821, in Salem. The prosecutor’s case was straightforward: Both Hannah Downes and the magistrate relayed the details of Clark’s confessions. The defense attorney countered by asserting that no direct evidence linked Stephen Clark to the crime; he argued that Downes’s testimony should be discounted because it came from a “person of infamous charac- ter” and that Clark’s confession to the magistrate had been made under “undue influence.” He produced alibis, too.

After the two-day trial, the jury deliberated for four and a half hours and returned with a verdict: guilty as charged. The mandatory sentence: Clark was to “be hanged by the neck till he be dead.” Although the jury unanimously recommended that the sentence be commuted, the Governor’s Council turned down the appeal, citing their “regard to the safety of the community.” Feelings about the case ran high. Numerous letters for and against Clark’s hanging appeared in newspapers throughout Essex County. A few days before his execution, two men were charged with bringing the youth tools to aid in his escape. On the day of the execution, huge crowds came to watch Clark taken in a carriagethrough Salem to the island in the harbor, where the gallows stood. One contemporary account estimates the crowd at 10,000. On May 10, 1821, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts executed young Stephen Merrill Clark. While newspapers described Clark’s resigned and contrite demeanor, a legislative committee debating the abolition of the death penalty in the 1830s heard a dramatically different version. “Such was his horror of death, that it was found necessary, amidst his cries and lamentations, actually to force him from his cell, and drag him to the place of execution.” By the 1830s, reformers in the state legislature had begun a protracted campaign to end, or at least limit the use of capital punishment. In 1839, armed burglary and highway robbery were dropped from the list of capital offenses. In 1852, rape, treason, and arson ceased to be punishable by death. That left murder. The last execution in Massachusetts took place May 9, 1947.” (www.massmoments.org). Contemporaneous notation at left margin indicates the owner as Woodbride S. Hobbs. Some dampstaining.

Custer issued this General Order No. 5, after soldiers slaughtered a number of cows belonging to a Dr. Peebles. They believed he was a Confederate, however, Custer states he “is probably the most thorough Union man in this State”. A search was made looking for the items that were also stolen from the property, so that the men responsible would be punished. This document was written to Colonel Thompson, informing him that none of his men were accused of the crime, and that he should be proud he has such a strong hold over his men. As an information document, this served as a message that unruly soldiers would not be tolerated, and that they would be punished to the fullest extent possible.
