I In order to establish the identity of the body of , the assassin beyond all question, the Secretary of War directed me to summon a number of ,witnesses residing in the .city of 7 ashhigto4l7llo had: iprevionely' , known the murderer. Some_ two years previous to the assassination of the President, Booth had a tumor or car tf ncle cut ,from , h neck by a surgeon. On inquiry, las raiined that Dr4fay, a well known an very skillful = Burgeon, of 25' years' prac tice in Waelington, had' performed the operatiOn. - - s t ,e, According , I 'called on Dr. May; who, before ing the body , minute ly described th exact loeality of the I tumor, , the natnre . and date of the_i operation titc. After being sworn he pointed to the 3r in the neck, which was then plai y visible. Five vi other tuesses iw 00:amined; all: of whoni hid . known the asbisein - in timately for years. The . various newapiper accounts, referring tO the mutilation of Booth's body, are equal-. ly absurd.: Gen: Barnes, 'Surgeon General 11. S. A., was on board the gunboat where the 'post mortem ex ammation Wita held, with his assist- ants. Gen: Barnes cut from Booth's neck about two inches of _the spinal column through which the, ball had, passed ; this piece \Of ' bone; 'ildeb is. now on exhibition in the Govern ment Medical Museum in Washing; tout is the only relic of the assassin's body above ground, - and this is only mutilation of the remains that ever occurred. Lamediately - . after the conclusion or the' .examination, the Secretary of War gave orders as to the disposition of thu,body, which had become very offentave, owing to the condition in which it had retham ed after death ; the leg, broken in jumping frinn the' bok to, the stage, was much discolored and swollen, the blood from the wound having sat urated his under-clothing.. With the . assistance of Limit. L B. Baker,`-I took the body from the gan-boat di rect to the old Penitentiary, adjoin ing the old Ar senal- ; , grouuda .31a:, building had'net'bein need as a pri son fin some years previousli.
