Decades after Capt. Robert Gordon of Cape Elizabeth Maine was condemned for smuggling slaves into the United States his case drew New York City into a fiery debate. He faced execution in New York as Lincoln’s era began and refused escape, even as friends urged flight. His fate was sealed when poison entered his system the morning of his scheduled hanging.
