The Story of Aaron Burr
General James Wilkinson arrested two of Aaron Burr's alleged co-conspirators in December 1806. Judge James Workman tried to protest the arrests, but he was also arrested by soldiers. The general took aim at the press, arresting editor of the New Orleans Gazette. In January 1807, General Wilkinson sent a warship bound for Washington with both accused conspirators on board.
