    SUBORNATION OF rERJIUY.
the case or coxavi?...
Washington, August 9. The following
document has been obtained from official
Bources:
' Attorney General's Office, 6th Augnst,
18G7. Mr. President: The application of
Charles A. Dunham having been referred to
this office, in the customary order of Executive
business, for the examination and advisory ac
tion of the Attorney General, it has become
my duty, during the indisposition and absence
of the distinguished Incumbent of the Law De
partment, carefully to consider the case. In
respectfully declining, as I do, to offer at pre
sent any recommendation in the premises, I
beg to submit for your consideration the rea
sons which constrain me to reserve advice and
suspend judgment until I shall have been fur
ther instructed by your Excellency.
Durham, the person applying for pardon, is
the same who has become notorious under the
name of Sanford Conovor. He was recently
convicted of perjury in the District of Colum
bia, and is, as I am informed, now incarce
rated, In accordance with the sentence of the
court. His application seems to be predi
cated, in part, upon a supposed technical irre
gularity in the constitution of tho jury, and is
supported mainly by the services which he is
alleged to have rendered the cause of justice
in aiding the prosecuting counsel in the col
lection of evidence and otherwise upon tho
trial of John II. Surratt for murder.
The papers upon which his application is
grounded and by which it is sustained consist
of four in a parcel, which, by indorsement,
appear to have reached the Executive office on
Saturday, the 27th of July, 1867. The first is
dated the 22d of July, and is written upon the
ordinary note paper used by members of the
House of Representatives," with an engraved
vignette caption. The following is a copy:
Fortieth Congress United States, House
of Representatives, Washington, D. C, July
22, 1867. Gentlemen: I suggest that a peti
tion something like the inclosed be prepared
and signed by you for tho pardon of Mr. Dun
bam. I think be is clearly entitled to it, and
hope yon will aid him all yon can.
PAflnflfl flllllT- J M A QTTT IP V
Bon. J. Holt, Hon. A. G. Riddle.
It would seem from an expression used in
this note that a draught of a petition was en.
closed. It does not appear what petition was
thus designated.
The next paper is the following from a late
Representative in Congress from Ohio, now a
member of the Washington Bar.
Washington, July 23, 1807 To the Presi
dent of the United States Sir: I was early in
April last retained to aid the government in
the prosecution of John H. Surratt, and took
the general management of the preparation of
the case.
The labor and difficulties of the case were
great, and the government is under great obli
gation to Charles A. Dunham for much valu
able information, both as to the facts and wit
nesses for the United States and for the his
tory of and facts concerning the witnesses
called for the defence. Although in jail, he
managed to keep informed of the progress of
the case, and from time to time communicated
important facts and suggestions, and seeming
ly for the sole purpose of a fair investigation
of the case, whether it would work for his
benefit or not.

recom-
lieral is
written upon one leaf of the same suSet with
that nf Mr. Riddle, and not upon official paper.
It will be observed that, notwithstanding
fhu man stood condemned for perjury, Mr
Riddle, by actual experience, and Judge Holt,
upon satisfactory grounds of belief, have fully
realized his usefulness in promoting by his co
operation with public agents of justice tho
rim of truth, on the occasion of an investi
gation of national importance; and also that
h lot tor intimates his ODinion that be had
fairlv atoned to the oflended law, and had
nattnfantnrilv demonstrated his repentance. It
is remarkable that Dunham himself, in his pe
tition which Buroorts to be in his own hand
writing), mentions no such grounds, but trusts
mainly to a technicality. i j"u
Washington. Julv 20. 1807. To his Excel
lency Andrew Johnson, President of the
TTnitfld States: The petition of Charles A.
Dunham respectfully shows that in the month
lant he was tried, convicted and
sentenced to the Penitentiary for perjury,
alleged to have been committed before the J w
Hinirv Committee of the House of Represent
.hh dnrinirthe investigation by said com
mittee of charges against Jefferson Davis, of
tTiiritv in the conspiracy to assassinato
PmHident Lincoln.
That the perjury assigned in the indictment
against your petitioner was in having falsely
wtifled that he bad no reason to doubt, and
dirt not doubt, the truthfulness of certain de-
wiaitions made by two persons, called Camp
bell and Snevel, at the time said depositions
Riven bv them in the Bureau of Military
Justice, and in testifying that he had last seen
said Campbell in Canada, in June, 18iji-r4
' said Snevol in w limington, n. j.t in
1805. '
That on the trial of your petition
. Campbell and Snevel declared that til
. .ra Hnnse and Roberts, and t
THE JDYJEVEyiNG TELEGAFH PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY,
depositions they had made and sworn to in
the Bureau of Military Justice were absoljtely
false from beginning to end, and were known
to be so by your petitioner, and that they
were not at j said Campbell in Canada
in June, 18G5, or said Snevel in Wilmington
in August, 18G5, the places at which your pe
titioner claimed to have last seen them.
That it was entirely upon this testimony of
said self-confessed perjurors that your peti
tioner was convicted, and that without the
said testimony of said persons the jury be
fore whom your petitioner was tried could not
possibly have found a verdict of guilty.
Your petitioner further says that he was triod
and convicted by a jury not qualified to try
him; that the jurors before whom he was
so tried and condemned were illegally selected
and drawn, as decided by the Court in the case
of John H. Surratt the manner and form of
selecting the Jurors in the case of Surratt and
your petitioner being identical that in the
discussion on the opening of the trial of Sur
ratt, as to the legal qualification of the jurors
who had been empanelled to try him, it was
contended by the prosecution and decided by
tho Court that said jurors were informally and
irregularly selected and drawn, and that any
verdict they might render upon any trial would
bo absolutely void.
Your petitioner further says that under the
rules and practice of the Supreme Court of this
District the above informality in the selection
and drawing of a jury doos not, after sentence
under a verdict found by such a jury, consti
tute a ground for a new trial or other relief by
the Court, and that the only remedy for such
an illegal conviction lies in an application to
the Executive for pardon.
Charles A. Dunham.
The above are all the papers which have
come to my knowledgo in relation to the ap
plication lor pardon, when considered in
connection with other papers, adventitiously
received, they excite peculiar interest and
command careful attention; and it is the ex
traordinary gravity of the import of these
papers last mentioned, in connection with the
source whence they came, which makes H my
delicate duty to submit their contents for your
studious consideration, and to suggest that
some proper disposition ought to be made of
them in consonanco with the dignity of the
government and in justice to all parties.
The following are the several papers which
accompany the above. The letters of refer
ence inserted in the foregoing and annexed to
tbe succeeding are not upon the original, but
are introduced solely for your convenience in
perusing the report.
The subjoined paper, headed memorandum
by the hand that wrote it, bears internal evidence
of having been furnished as a guide to some
person or persons who were expected to fabri
cate coresponding testimony: (A.) Memo
randum. Shortly before the inauguration of
Lincoln and Johnson, tho latter, through or
in connection with Booth, sent several letters
to the confederacy, one of which was intended
for Jefferson Davis. These letters were borne
by a messenger named Allen, who had been
acting as a spy for one of the Union generals.
Allen was provided with a safe conduct through
our picket lines, and was supposed to have
been sent on secret duty in connection with
his command. He was also provided with
papers from a rebel emissary at the north to
insure bis proper treatment when he should
enter the confederate lines. After delivering
his mail in Richmond, he returned, bearing se
veral letters, which he received from J. P. Ben
jamin. These letters were inclosed to Boom.
On returning to Washington, Allen called on
Booth and delivered the package, and Booth,
after examining some of the letters, went out,
as he said, in search of his messenger. The
messenger could not be found, and Booth
at-ked Allen If ho was too tired to walk as far
the Kirkwoed House. Allen replied In the
negative, when Booth, drawing forth the
package which had been brought from Kicn-
mond, selected a letter addressed to Andrew
Johnson, Vice President elect of the United
States, and asked Allen to deliver it. Allen
promised to do so, and then accompanied
Booth to the bar-room to first take a drink.
Here Allen met a friend, who was invited to
join them in taking a drink, and afterwards
accompanied him to the Kirkwood House, ana
heard him inquire if Mr. Johnson was in, and
saw him go to his (Johnson's) room. This
friend waited until Allen came down stairs,
when he asked him, jocularly, what in the
devil's business he had to do with Johnson:
if he was already begging for an office.
Allen can be produced, as well as the triena
who accompanied him to the Kirkwood House
from Booth. Allen, before going to Rich
mond, had been led by Booth to believe that
he was a confidential and secret agent of the
government, and that the letters borne by him
had reference to peace propositions which
would speedily tend to a suspension of hostili
ties and the restoration ot the union. Aaa,
also, that it can further be proved by two per
sons, formerly rebel soldiers, that Booth, on
the first or second day before his death, fell in
with them near Garrett's, and asked their ad
vice and assistance in his efforts to escape. He
informed them that he had killed Lincoln, and
thereby made a good southern man President.
One ot the parties, wnoBe name is uawson,
said to him that if he meant that he had made
Andy Johnson President, he had dono the
worst possible thing for the south; as he was
more extreme in his views, ana a greater
enemy to the south, than Lincoln. Booth re
plied that it was a mlstaKe; that Johnson as a
candidate, or office-seeker, had td say a great
many things, but that as rresldent be could
do as he pleased; that he was bound to be a
friend to tbe south, and that if he went back
on
him (Booth) he would have him hung
hieher than Uaman. These men belong to
good families and have excellent characters,
and can be produced as witnesses.
Here the paper ends, dim tne iouowing,
which was originally the final clause and is
now cancelled, is still legible.
For the names of Dawson ana Alien, usea
above, leave blanks, or substitute the names of
such persons as you know will take their
parts.

The same applies to the following:

of every legal point which may be presented. I

House of Representatives. July 8. 1807.
My Dear Sir: I have just seen your wife, and
have your letter. You may rest assured that
I do not credit the false and stupid reports
made against you. If you bad the letters I
know you never. would send copies to J .
It you can put the originals in my hands I wil.
say that no one shall take or destroy, them
without your express order in writing, except
you are released. Will see your wite again
this evening. Respectfully, J.M.Ashley.
C.A.Dunham. ,
This note is not written in ink, but in pencil,
and though dated "House Reps," is upon a
half sheet of plain note paper, apparently torn
from some note which had been carried in the
pocket. It comes here in an envelope, super
scribed "C. A. Dunham, Esq., Prison." The
envelope sIbo shows some apparently idle
scribbling.
(F.) Ar-RiL 20, '07. Dunham: It is all right.
Tie matter will rest for the present, or nntil
the thing is argued in May. You will not
leave the city ad interim. Mr. A. will return
next week, when any other matters will be ad
justed. Yours, W. B. M.
This is written on a small scrap, in ink, su
perscribed "C. A. Dunham, Present." On a
still smaller and much soiled scrap, in penctl,
but evidently by the same hand, is this memo
randum or explanation:
(G.) 1. The Court cannot act without being
a parliceps crimims.
2. Congress will, at the proper time, exercise
its power.
3. Witnesses will be first called before the
committee. '
This, Mr. President, completes the full and
literal recital of all the papers or other adhere
ing data before me. The parcel comprising
all but the pardon papers reached this office in
an envelope from the Executive Mansion, in
dorsed, "Received from Mrs. Dunham, July
80, 1807." The papers having come from the
hands of a person whose application for par
don was undergoing official examination here,
were, for very obvious reasons, associated
with it in considering the matter. Struck
by their extraordinary character, yet remem
bering in how unexpected and casual a
manner they had been received at the Execu
tive office, I immediately determined that, un
til I should have made this report, their quality
and significance, whatever these may be,
should remain unchanged by investigation, or
by any extraneous connection or association
whatever, not only of record, but, as far as
practicable, in my own mind. This course it is
necessary to bear in recollection in the act of
estimating the probable weight or value of the
allegations. Never having seen the hand
writing of the Hon. J. M. Ashley, I thought it
due to him that I should not proceed without
acquiring a notion of his genuine chirography.
I therefore exhibited that letter which was
written by Mr. Ashley to recommend the par
don of Dunham to a gentleman acquainted
with bis handwriting. The latter without hesi
tation recognized that letter as genuine. The
others strikingly resemble it.
In conclusion, 1 beg leave to express the
profound sensibility with which I find myself
obliged to bring to the serious notice of the
President of the United States accusations and
papers which must occasion him painful em
barrassment. They expose prominent mem
bers of the Legislature of the Union to
the shocking suspicion of having conspired
with a convicted perjurer for a stupen
dous imposition, first upon the House of
Representatives, then upon tbe people, and
then upon the Senate of the United States,
for the purpose of effecting the impeachment
and removal from office of a President of the
United States,.sololy upon suborned testimony.
I need not say how greatly astonished man
kind would be was it charged that a scheme bo
abominable was heightened still by the pecu
liar wickedness of attempting to induce the
intended victim himself, through appeals to
bis clemency, to qualify by a pardon, with
consequent competency to act and testify, the
principal instrument of the imposture.
But, impossible as the existence ot such a
conspiracy may seem, is not the President ex
posed to a grave accountability tor whatever
consequences may possibly follow an in
credulity far too generous in the premises, to
be indulged merely because these adventitious
data have been thrust upon his casual notice
by a party who has been dishonored by a
criminal verdict, but who is still, in the ex
pressed opinion of competent professional
persons, qualified to be a vehicle of truth in a
court of justice?
I thns lay the whole matter bet ore your ex
cellency for your better judgment. In the
meantime the application for pardon will be
suspended.
V ery respectfully, your obedient servant,
John M. Brinckley,
Acting Attorney General.
To Andrew Johnson, President ot the United
States.
