The` folloWing passap site-at fa
the dispute an to, the final disposition
of Booth's boti. :,- - . 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
