Note 1001 — Chapter V · (continued 3)

The original records of this trial are said to have disappeared from the State archives at Albany, but they had been printed in the New York Herald. Dawson reprinted this Herald text in the Historical Mag., vol. x., July-Nov., 1866, and issued it separately as Record of the trial of Joshua Hett Smith, Esq., for alleged complicity in the treason of Benedict Arnold, 1780, Ed. by H. B. Dawson (Morrisania, 1866). Sparks made use of the record; and the evidence has been examined in P. W. Chandler's American Criminal Trials, ii. 155, 183. The Gentleman's Mag., 1780, Supplement, p. 610, gave an account of the trial and printed the chief documents.
