186836564Washington D.C.: R.A. Waters Penn. Ave. cor. 13th Street 1868. Broadside 8" x 10". Printed document with illustration of American Eagle and Shield completed in ink manuscript with signature of Darden and Notary Public Kirby. Notary's blindstamp at bottom blank left corner. Two small pinholes at upper blank margin from prior mounting. Very Good. <br/> <br/> A presidential pardon was required in order for former Confederates to regain their citizenship and voting privileges. The Oath which Darden took in this Proclamation was a precondition to President Johnson's grant of a Pardon to him. <br/> Dennis Dawney Darden c.1833-1883 born in Washington D.C. enlisted in October 1863 as a Private in Co. B Mosby's Cavalry Regiment Partisan Rangers. Captured at Upperville Virginia on 14 October 1864 he was sent to Old Capitol Prison; transferred on 8 February 1865 to Fort Warren MA; and was one of about sixty Confederate prisoners released on 13 June 1865. <br/> He signed the Oath of Allegiance on the day of his release. John W. Munson a comrade of Darden's later credited Darden with helping Munson escape from Old Capitol Prison; Darden stayed behind. Munson's Memoir states that Darden had been "in the secret service department of the government" before the War. Census records show him as a druggist both before and after the War. Munson: Recollections of a Mosby Guerrilla 1906. <br/> In August 1871 Darden was accused of murdering gambling house operator John McCarthy. During a gambling-related altercation defense witnesses said McCarthy drew a derringer on Darden but that the gun misfired; McCarthy then hit Darden over the head. When officers arrived Darden was firing a gun at McCarthy and shot him dead. <br/> The New York Times reported that "the entire gambling fraternity here who bore bitter animosity to McCarthy have been very active in Darden's behalf and he has not lacked for either money or friends." Darden was acquitted; at trial's end a doctor declared Darden insane from McCarthy's beating. He was ordered to an insane asylum. Later he moved to Tennessee with his sisters. The Darden-McCarthy case exposed the police graft system and resulted in the removal of corrupt policemen. <br/>Baltimore Sun 8/16/1871 p.1 and 1/18/1883 p.4; Washington Post 8/18/1912 p.9; Evening Star Washington DC 10/3/1871 p.4; The New York Times 10/3/1871 p.8; Munson J.W.: Recollections of a Mosby Guerilla 1906.
