SPY IN 1776

In Revolutionary days the hunt for
traitors was steady and relentless. AS
early as May, 1916. the Provincial
Congress appointed a committee to
deal with intestine enemies arrested
by the Committee of Safety. During
the next few years one body after an
other was appointed to rundown con-
spiracies. These moved from place to
place and with the aid of armed force
sought out and arrested the enemies
Of the people. Their functions in
ch0ded the right to seize papers and
arrest suspects, to administer oaths
and take bonds, to imprison all per-
sons dangerous to the safety of the
state, and to discharge from confine-
ment others upon evidence of loyalty.
At first lenient were tried.
Disaffected persons were removed
from the center of activities to dis
at a moderate rental. Because they
were too close to the heart of things
they were banished to isolated places,
as in this war aliens. have been sent
out of the District Of Columbia and
have been forbidden to approach 9TH
ser important points. This extract
from the Board for Detecting and
Defeating Conspiracies shows, the
method Of the committee:

for being one of the chief promoters

Leniency was found to be ineffec-
,tual. On July I. 1880. a bill was
passed by the New York legislature
for the deporting of the families of
the disaffected because they conceal
ed emissaries from the enemy and
"~traffcked" in information. Numer-
