Death and burial mark a Civil War tale of John McCue
Baltimore remembers John McCue once tried as a spy by a Maryland court martial. The Virginia Military Institute cadet rode with Mosby’s Rangers, fought at New Market, was captured in Maryland, and saved by Colonel Bowman. Pardoned after the war, he became an Iron Gate nail company president and later worked in Canada engineering. Mrs. Hull aided his defense and placed palm leaves on his coffin.

Critics doubted the claim while proponents hailed a more honest operation, citing abolitions of a long held teenage aide post, idle telegraph operators, and unused police positions, plus overlapping pay rolls with outside work.
