Here's Davis again, from an 1890 article in "Belford's Magazine" entitled Andersonville and Other War-prisons", apparently published immediately after his death. It lacks page numbers, but the search engine lets you find this passage: "In answer to an inquiry addressed by me to the Reverend Father Boyle, I received the letter of which the following is a copy."

Davis goes on to reprint the entire letter from Boyle, and then follows it with "These witnesses were men of high quality and intelligence, of whom it could not be pretended that they were in any manner connection with the charges under consideration, or otherwise of doubtful credibility." What an idiot, huh? I mean, according to you, there wasn't even such a person as Father Boyle, and here's dumb ol' Jefferson Davis telling everyone what a high-quality witness he is. LOL!

To: Bubba Ho-Tep; All
actually, you've "caught your tail in the gate" AGAIN, LIAR. (NOT uncommon for you to tell a CLUMSY, stupid, LIE!)

i've NEVER said that there was NO such person as Father Boyle, but rather that i did NOT know anything about him & that the Chief of Custody of the prison does NOT mention any such person being there & DOES state that CPT Wirz was DENIED the counsel of a Roman Catholic priest to take his confession & administer the Last Rites of the church, on the orders of "secretary stanton".

in other words, you've caught YOURSELF in yet another LIE! (this FACT is NOT a surprise to anyone who frequents these threads.)

laughing AT you!!!
