Starting Bid: $250
(0 Bids)Signed and dated 1888 lower right. Well-known regional artist, Lydia Atwater painted Main St. Canandaigua as it looked about the time of the trials of the Morgan kidnappers. The men who kidnapped Morgan were all members of local Masonic lodges. Morgan had threatened to expose "secrets" of the Masons, a rather phony claim. However, he was obnoxious, and his kidnappers were angry with him on several accounts. Many of the people who participated in the kidnapping, or the later cover-up attempts, were public officials and politicians. Heated debate and arguments followed. In the end there were indictments, trials, and prison terms for some participants. Those who kidnapped Morgan all got two years or less in county jail. No murder was ever proven since there was no body and no witnesses. The longest any of them ever served was a few months. The incident" eventually moved to Nauvoo, Illinois and married the Prophet Joseph Smith.
