Family of Lincoln assassin helper vows to keep legal fight
The McHale family of Suitland Maryland vowed to continue seeking to clear Dr Samuel Mudd's name after a federal appeals court dismissed their case on a technicality. The six page ruling by the DC Circuit noted the law used applies to military records, although Mudd was never a soldier. McHale said another appeal could be pursued and that the family would not rest until the case is resolved.
