Case of Daniel Benton in Springfield Ilinois delivers dramatic Newby impersonation
The Springfield case centers on Daniel Benton alleged to personate the Union soldier William Newby killed at Shiloh. Witnesses trace Benton from White County to Tennessee, Nashville prison, and various poorhouses as he assumes Newby or Dan Kenton. Defense argues Newby survived and Benton is the real impersonator known as Crazy Jack in Andersonville and later misidentified by witnesses.
