I guess I wouldn't have put it in the book if I were Adams. There's enough damning stuff so there is no need to use such questionable material.

Re the arrest warrant for Taney, Chief Justice Taney himself discussed it with the mayor of Baltimore, George Williams Brown [noted in Baltimore and the Nineteenth of April 1861], and it's also reported in the memoirs of his associate on the court, justice Benjamin Robbins Custis.

Thanks for the reference to the Brown book. I see that a cheap reprint is available. I'll pick one up the next time I order some books.
