Benedict Arnold
Tallmadge was Washington's trusted contact/courier at his HQ to the Connecticut contacts of the Culper ring and other spies. When Major John Andre was captured, his papers showing Arnold's treason were brought to Tallmadge's Dragoons. He knew to immediately forward them to Washington, but Tallmadge's commander had already sent a note telling of the capture of Andre to Arnold. Arnold immediately escaped to the British ship down the Hudson, before anyone else knew what was happening.
