FIRST AMERICAN TRAITOR.
Harvard Graduate Played That Role
0urinu Revolution


Benjamin Church. graduate OF
Harvard and a member of distin-
guished New England family. was the
first American traitor. Church be-
came eminent as surgeon and as a
writer Of verse, and was one OF the
leading Wings in the years Just pre-
ceding the Revolution. At one time he
was a member Of the Massachusetts
provincial congress and became
member of the famous Boston commit
tee Of safety
The committees plans were consist
entity revealed to General Gage gov
ernor Of the province but the source
of the leak was not discovered until
after the Revolution was fairly under
way. At the time of the actual break
between the colonies and England,
Church was assigned to an important
colonial hospital. In September l775.
a letter from Church to British army
officer, containing secrets of the col
onist army, was intercepted. Church
had intrusted the letter. written in
code, to a woman, to be conveyed To
one Of General Cages staff officers.
The woman confessed her share in the
reasonable move and implicated
Church.
The traitor was taken before a coun-
Gil presided over by Washington. and
he there practically admitted his guilt.
Congress acting on the suggestion Of
the trial council, ordered Church kept
in close confinement In the Cambridge
Jail, without the use of pen or paper.
and that no person be allowed to con-
verse with him, except In the presence
and hearing of colonial officers until
further orders from this or future
congress-
Church's health failed rapidly. and
he was permitted to undergo Danish
ment to the West Indies. He sailed In
a merchant vessel in May. l776. and
neither the ship nor Church ever was
heard Of again.
