Taney wouldn’t have known of an arrest warrant since it was never served, so it wouldn’t have been mentioned in any of his papers. Unless his biographers knew of Ward Lamon’s memoir they likely wouldn’t know of it at all.
Moreover its existence is controversial. The only mention of a warrant for Taney’s arrest is in Lamon’s memoir. It has some credence because Lamon was someone whom Lincoln would use for such a task. Lincoln had appointed him US Marshal for DC and he was around Lincoln all the time. Lincoln could certainly have been angry enough with Taney, for the Merryman decision as well as Dred Scott. But Lamon’s sole testimony is a thin thread so there’s room for doubt.
So what you're saying is there is absolutely no evidence of such a warrant other than Lamon's memoir. No documents. No witnesses to Lincoln giving the order. Nothing but Lamon's word.

I guess my first question is what was Taney being charged with? Because I think the answer to that would determinewho would execute the arrest, civil marshals or army soldiers.
