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!
