In fact, it links his name with Washington's does it not?
When you guys post these articles, could you also post a link along with it?
Sorry, I figured you knew how to Google. Here is ex parte Milligan. This particular version of it has modern spellings. I can't give you a link to the text of Stidger's book. I don't think it is on the web, but you can purchase it at Amazon. I don't think Milligan was arrested for uttering the words I quoted, but he said them some time in 1864 before he was arrested.
