>Explain why his own daughter denied the story that he had recanted.
Why would she deny something that never took place in the first place? It don't make no sense. You deny something that was, not something that was not.
Anyway, I've never read that her daughter denied his recanting. I'll research this issue and see what I can find. But I doubt I'll find such a denial by his daughter. If I haven't found it, it ain't there; and, if it ain't there, it never happened - the daughter's denial, that is.
I'll research this very important issue and let you all know of my definite, authoritative, and final findings.
