Archives intern sold Civil War items on eBay, prosecutors say
PHILADELPHIA -- An intern with the National Archives stole about 165 Civil War documents —- including the War Department's announcement of President Lincoln's death —- and sold most of them on eBay, prosecutors charged Thursday.
Denning McTague, who runs a Web site that sells rare books, worked at a National Archives and Records Administration site in Philadelphia last summer, prosecutors said.
McTague, 40, of Philadelphia, has helped officials recover most of the missing items and plans to plead guilty, his lawyer said.
