Mr Butler, of Massachusetts, asked and

to fifteen minutes, he sto'ed that the evi

the statement that Mrs. Sorrell was improp

hand the printed report of the trial, and
had examined it with great care long before
because this was no sporadic thought of
his. It was the result of careful and anx
ious investigation for another and different
purpose, to see who were in the great con
epiracy. The gentleman (Mr. Bingham)
he was the advocate of the United States on
that trial. That was a great mistake Ile
was the special judge advocate, whose duty
it was to protect the righls of the prisoner
as well as of the United States, and to sum

there was oue piece of evidence within the

mission if that evidence had been produc
ed T'nat evidence, found on [teeth's per
son should have been produced. I under
stood the theory to be, that the reason it
was not produced was, lei Booth's glerifi
cation of himself should go into the ease
I think that &lame emus°. If an assualb
can glee*, himself, let him do it, there is
no danger.
Therefore, I again say, here was a most
remarkableltiece of evidence found on the
body of the great conspfretiOr, concealed.
I will take that back I metuti.B, was put
forward; not brought before, the great pub
lic multi. I believe that piece of evidence
would havlsehown 'what in my judgment
the whole cave now shows, that Booth, up to
a certain hour, meant a capture and Adult,
lion of Mr Lincoln, and that- he changed
his purpose , and resorted to assassination
Mrs. Surrott may or may not have known
of the change of purpose What I find
fault with in the Judge Advocare, wit° did
nor sum up for the prisoner, is that hero
was &o notice by him brought to the mind
°film cawt in his very able but very bitter
argument against the, prisoner, of this
change of purpose. if Wei Burratt did
not know of rlftrebango, she would have
bedew knowledge of the intended assassin•
alien, strut therefore would_ not have been
convicted.
Theeb are the reasons why I ea) I am
glad - the blood of the woman, whether oho
were innocent or guilty, is not ou my head.
I meant by no mains to say a word against
the Raisers who composed that commission
They were military men, who relied for the
law upon the Judge Advocate, wlho thought
they had all the facts before (h ert. brut-be
fore whom ail the facts were not Put. Ido
not mean to May that they judged wrong
under the light which they had.
The point which I made, and the point
which shouldstand male before thceountry,
is that all the testimony was nothefore that
tribunal. if 'all theSeilimony MAI been
presented, we sho ild have been able to
pursue the accomplice., and to find out
who it wee that changed Booth's purpose
from capture to assassination; who it was
that was to profit,by thy assassination, and
thrt would not profit,by the capture of Mr
Lincoln, who it was that should succeed to
Mr. Lincoln in case the bullet made a •a
leeway In some aspects of the case that
dim? , might not have been legal testimony,
tint its moral evidence would have. carried
conviction to the mind of everybody, be
cause it was the dying declaration of a
man who, assassin though lie were, was
telling the truth between himself and God.
How was Booth, by coming back Washing
ton, going to . clear himself of the great
erime committed? Thiit question still re
mains. Were thd eighteen pages of Booth's
diary gone when it came into the possession
of the learned Jildge Advocate?. It so,
why did lie not i,riquire what became of
them? Whether Lieutenant Colonel Con
ger gave the book to somebody; whether it
went from his hands into other hands, and
whom knife itwas that cut out those leaves?
I should not have pursued thin ratter
further except that the gentlelhan [Mr
Bingham] charged me with haring made
the assertion !Aid without an examination
of the evidence, Ile has chosen to bring
the matter Lott—not I, and I desire now
that in some form this matter shall be fully
and thoroughly investigated

No, sir, said Mr _Minima), t moon the

Oh, said Mr. Butler, the gentleman air:

Mr. Butler tried to' priiin, but .
Mr Bingham would not permit him, and
requested that he Mould eit down. If be

and the gentleman which was provoked ,by
an unjust and unwarranted impettatioit on

Thi Speaker intimated that Mr. Bingham
might proceed in order.
Mr. Bingham continued—l raid be had
