In all in the spin

Judy Wallman, a professional genealogical researcher,

discovered that Hillary Clinton's great-great uncle,

Remus Rodham, was hanged for horse stealing and train

robbery in Montana in 1889.

The only known photograph of Remus shows him standing

on the gallows. On

the back of the picture is this inscription: 'Remus

Rodham; horse thief, sent to Montana Territorial

Prison 1885, escaped 1887, robbed the Montana Flyer

six times. Caught by Pinkerton detectives, convicted

and hanged in 1889.'

Judy e-mailed Hillary Clinton for comments.

Hillary's staff of professional image adjusters sent

back the following biographical sketch:

'Remus Rodham

was a famous cowboy in the Montana Territory . His

business empire grew to include acquisition of

valuable equestrian assets and intimate dealings with

the Montana railroad.

Beginning in 1883, he devoted several years of his

life to service at a government

facility, finally taking leave to resume his dealings

with the railroad.

In 1887, he was a key player in a vital

investigation run by the renowned Pinkerton Detective

Agency. In 1889, Remus passed away during an

important civic function held in his honor when the

platform upon which he was standing collapsed.'

And THAT is how it's done folks!-----------GET
