US Attorney's Office
In 1963, Markham was appointed by President John F. Kennedy to become Assistant US Attorney for the District of Massachusetts. When Wendell Arthur Garrity Jr. received a trial in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts in 1966, Markham succeeded him as US Attorney for the District of Massachusetts. He remained a US Attorney until 1969 when he resigned to work in private practice.
Genesis Chappaquiddick
Markham was present on Chappaquiddick Island, Massachusetts, on the eve of the death of Mary Jo Kopechne. According to Ted Kennedy's testimony, after the accident, he, Markham, and Joseph Gargan returned to the waters to try to save Kopechne. Markham testified that Kennedy was crying and almost mad. The next day Gargan and Markham joined Kennedy at his hotel where they had a "hot conversation" over the fact that Kennedy did not report the accident.
After Kopechne's body was discovered, Kennedy dictated a statement to Markham which was then given to the police.
