[Swint Correpreadinse -et the Prem.]
• WASHINGTON, ). C., August 14, 1867.--The
documents appended hereto have been copied
Item the original affidavits on fllc in the proper
departments and contain information regarding
the subornation of witunases for the purpose of
defaming the character of Judge Advocate Gen
eral Bolt and his administration of the Bureau of
mou s ryJnatite, which Is, to say the least, equal
to the best of the many efforts in the same line of
Sanford Conover, the "Napoleon of forgers."
The names of the parties implicated in the atlida
vitsare those of well-known Democratic and re
bellion leaders, and their object is evident as an
attack on a loyal bureau of the government,which
the} earryout with truly Democratic zeal and die-.
regard of the means resorted-' to for the accom
plishment of their purposes. The recent publica
tion of a statement regarding Sanford Conover 's
petition for pardon,by Assistant Attorney General
Brincklev. led to the exhumation of these docu
ments, and their publication is demanded by a
sense of justice towards the parties referred to in
Mr: Brinchley's letter. From the fact that all
these documents have passed through the hands
of either the President or the Attorney-General,
and they implicate only ardent supporters of the
policy of the administration, while the letter of
Mr. trinekley implicates only ardent opponents
of the administration, it is reasonable to infer
that both President Johnson and the Attorney-
General withheld what follows for partisan
reasons. If either of them had for a moment
entertained the slightest idea of making public
an eapose of 'Conover's enormous iniquity:, they
would have embraced these documents in the
statements which have been published with their
approval and authority, but, blinded by partisan
malice, they sought only to defame the fair char
acter of their political enemies, and it is perhaps
fortunate, therefore, that I have been able to ob
tain the whole story.
In connection with these papers there is evi
-dence of the following facts, all of the testimony
concerning which is entirely independent of
Conover.
- -
A few days prior to the adjournment of the
Thirty-ninth Congress, Hon. Wm. Radford pro
posed to certain parties to unite in attempting to
procure a pardon for Conover, and he was willing
to give ssuo if the names of some Republicans
could be obtained, and then go to the President
and get the pardon.
All these Democrats and ex-rebels were in the
plot to, manufacture evidence against the Bureau
of Military Justice and to aid the plan to secure
the release of Davis, and Roger Pryor affirmed
that President Johnson was ready the moment
Conover presented his false affidavits against the
Bureau 01 Military Justice to release,Davis.
After using Conover, the principals in this mat
ter abandoned him, and. were willing he should go
to the penitentiary, that evidence against them
might he thus put out of the way.
Aiken. who defended Mrs. Surratt, and who
now holds a clerkship in the Treasury Depart
ment, ()tiered Conover a pardon from the Presi
dent, through Judge Blair, if he would reiterate
under oath the slanders he had written about the
Burea'u of Military Justice, in an intensified
form.
That Jack Rogers wrote his petition for pardon
under the impression that it would close Cono
ver's mouth against several of the Democrats.
When approached concerning it with the charge:
"You helped to get this man into this trouble,..
now help get him out," he replied: "It's a lie, we
didn't do any such thing; he got himself into
and he wasn't smart or he would have got. out.
He got his money; what did he del with it ?"
To his Excellency Andrew Johnson. President of
the United Slates: .
The petitioner, Charles A. Dunham, respect
fully shows that, at the February term,lB67, of
District of olumbia,
Judge Fisher presiding, he was found guilty of
perjury by the verdict of a jury; that the false
swearing of which he was convicted was alleged
to - hake been committed in giving testimony be
fore a committee of the House of Representa
tives, then inquiring, under a' resolution of the
House, into tlinalleged complicity .of Jefferson
Davis in the assassination of the late • 'President
of the United States; that in November, 1865,
two persons, calling tlaemselves Campbell and
made affidavits implicating JetfersoW
Davis in said assassination, and left them in the
possession of the Judge Advocate General of the
!army of the United States: and that the same
'persons afterwards—to wit: in May, 1866—under
the names - of Hoare and Roberts, testified before
the committee of the House that the affidavits so
made, and left by them in possession of the
Judge Advocate General, which affidavits were
at that time in the possession of the committee,
were untrue, and were fabricated by the pe
titioners.
That the petitioner was . examined' before the
committee, and after stating that he had no ex
planation to make, denied in substance the state
ments made by the person calling himself _Hoare
before the committee, and stated that he had no
reason to doubt the truth of the affidavits then
before the committee of these persons, and in
reply to questions stated when he had first met
them. That the majority of the committee re
ported that they were unable to say upon the
testimony before them whether the statements
made by the persons called Campbell and Snevel
in.the affidavits left with the Judge Advocate
General were true or false. That on the trial of
your petitioner for perjury in his statement
before the committee, denying all that lioiffe had
said, and that ho had no reason to doubt the truth
of the affidavits of Campbell and Snevel, and stat
ing where he had first met them, these persons,
Who had stated Wore the committee that they had
made false statements in their sworn affidavits;
were the main witnesses against your petitioner,
and again stated to the court and .jury that they
had sworn falsely. That upon testimony of
those persons. proclaiming themselves perjured
men t your petitioner was found guilty by the
verdict of the jury. Therefore your petitioner
respectfully asks, lu view of all the circum
stances of the case, that the clemency of the
President of the United States may be extended
to him,-and that he may be pardoned for the
offence of which a jury on this evidence chiefly
have found him guilty.
Dated Waahington, Feb. 2, 18(7.
Attached to the above affidavit, on the same
sheet of paper, and immediately following the
signature of the petitioner, the following ap
pears:
My Lem• President: 'I have been and still am of
the opinion that the perjury in this case was
euborned and gotten up by another person, or by
other persons, and_that Conover was their tool;
and to save themseivesfrorn public odium They
have been instrumental iu obtaining his convic
tion, and as I believe hint less guilty than others,
or at least than one' other, I recommend him for
pardon.
From reading the minority report of the Judi
ciary Committee, with the statement of Hon. A.
J. Rogers above,
I recommend Chas. R. Dunham
to your full andfavprable consideration.

nen t's self. That deponent signified his willing
ness and readiness to do so, when said Conover ex
plained that he had become invOlved in a quarrel
with the Judge Advocate General, who seemed
determined to destroy him; and that he. (said
- Conover)'was, on 'the other hanth - determined - to
resist, and, if possible, destroy his said enemy.
That the hostility' of Judge Holt had forced him
(said Conover), for his own protection, to join the
friends of Jeff. Davis, who were making strenu
ous efforts to. secure Davis's release, and that it
was intended to further their said efforts by fas
tening upon Judge Holt the charge of conspiring
to implicate Davis, by means of bogus witnesses,
in the assassination of President Lincoln, and
that by this course he (Conover) would be ena
bled to punish Judge Holt for his animosity to
ward him (said Conover). That the said Conover
wanted deponent to make an affidavit, stating
that he (said deponent) had been
hint (said Conover) to Judge Holt, and that the
latter had endeavored to induce deponent, for a
considerable sum of money, to make a false depo
sition. accusing Jefforson Davis with complicity
in the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. That
after further explanation and much persuasion by
said Conover. he consented to make the required
affidavits. :mil was on the same day taken to the
office of the said Pryor,and introduced by him; that
said Pryor explained to deponent, as said Conover
had previously done, that Judge Holt had been
striving. by means of perjured witnesses, to im
plicate Mr. Davis in the'assassination of Presi
dent Lincoln, and thus destroy his (Davis')
life and reputation; and that the 'only way to
frustrate the atrocious design of said Holt, and
puniSh him for his inhumanity, was to fabricate
affidavits, which, with the bona
.fide and truth
ful evidence they, the friends of Davis, could
command, would satisfy the country of said
Holt's infamous conduct, and bring upon him
and the Bureau of Military Justice such a mea
sure of public condemnation as to warrant the
President (who desired Mr. Davis's release) in set
ting said Davis at liberty; that said Pryor also
assured deponent that he (deponent) would bo
liberally compensated for his services, & . c., and
stated to deponent the' sum he would receive
down to signing and swearing to the affidavits
and the sum he would afterwards receive in cer
tain contingencies; that deponent expresSed
willingness to make the affidavit required, and
that it was arranged that Conover would:call with
deponent on the following day, when the docu
ments, .lc., would be ready; that deponent called
with Conover at the time appointed, and found
the said Benjamin Wood and Pryor awaiting de-
pouent's arrival; but the affidavit had not been
prepared, the said Pryor assigning- as a reason
that he had not been able to make up his mind
what points it was most desirable deponent's af
fidavits should cover,and that therefore he wished
to confer with Messrs. Conover and Wood on the
subject: that it was. ;thereupon agreed that depo
nent should call .Conover again on the even- ,
ing ensuing: that 'said Wood'remarked that depo
nent might like as an earnest a little pocket mo
tley. and gave deponent fifty dollars; that depo
nent then departed, leaving Pryor, Conover and
Wood together; that ou the following evening de
ponent a ,, * ain called, as arranged. but that the
atlidaVits.had not yet been prepared, Pryor, on
this occasion, making various excuses for the de
lay, and promising that the papers should be
ready two days later, without fail.
Deponent further says that during this inter
view Conover and Pryor had a consultation in
reg,ard to some newspaper publications, and
either Conover or Pryor, deponent does not re
member which, asked deponent to copy a letter
on the back of a quartermaster's blank-order for
transportation, and which letter was, a day or
two later, published in the New York Herald.
DePOnent further says that after leaving the
office of said Pryor on the last-mentioned occa
sion, -and. reflecting on what he had seen, and
the conversation lie had heard and overheard
between Conover and Pryor, deponent became
satisfied that there was mischief which he could
dot fathom on foot, and he became uneasy lest
lie by doing what they required of him should
get involved in some difficulty which might end
in his destruction, and deponent therefore re
solved to have nothing further to do with the
arrangements of said parties, and - that-deponent
endeavored to keep out 'of their way;* that said
Conover,- however, sought deponent and endea
voredn to press him to perform his promise to
_Make said affidavits, but that_dep_onetit_tolclsaid_
Conover frankly , of his fears and absolute refusal
to proceed any, further: in said business; that de
ponent proposed to. return lo..said Wood -the
said fifty dollars adyabeed by him as aforesaid to
deponent, but that Conover said no, that the
Money was of no consequenee, and that all they
(Davis's friends) would expect or ask was that
deponent should as a man of honor remain per
fectly silent as to the business in which they
Were engaged,and the offers they had made Co
him: that deponent assured said Conover that
the said deponent would never utter one word in
rivird to the affair Without his (said. Conover's)
consent:, that up to this time deponent has sub
stantially kept his said promise.

times known as Sanford Conover),_ attorney
and counsellor at law in the State of Now York.
• -- Further - says that aboutthetilddle of Ju1y,1.866i
he was present, by invitation from Conover, at
an interview arwhich. James Mattertion was also
present, between the latter and the said Benja
min Wood and Roger A. Pryor, at the office of
said Pryor, 95 Liberty street, in this city; that
Conover, before inviting deponent to be present
at said interview, informed deponent that the in
terview was to be held for the purpose of devising
additional measures to aid in the movement then
being made for the release of Jefferson Davis and
that deponent would probably be able by makiug
a deposition to render service in the matter, for
which a liberal compensation would be made:
Deponent further says, that after being intro-'
duced to said Pryor and Wood, the former pro- -
posed to read add did read to deponent two afti,
davits which had been' previously proposed for
deponent to swear to; that one of said affidavits
alleged and set forth at great length that depo
nent had in February, 1806, been taken by said
Conover before the Hon. Joseph Holt, Judge
Advocate General of the armies of the United
' States, and had been requested and urged by
said Conover, and said Judge Advocate General,
to make a false and fabricated deposition under
the fictitious name of George Waddell implicat
ing Jefferson Davis in the assassination of
President Lincoln; that said affidavit set forth
that deponent, when requested by Conover and
Judge Holt to make the depositions as in said
affidavit alleged, expressed fears and conscientious
scruples in opposition thereto, and that Judge
Holt assured deponent that the proceedings
would not be attended with any danger, as the
making of such a deposition would not amount
legal perjury, and could scarcely be said to
amount to moral perjury; thatit would, at most;
be what is sometimes called a "white lie;"
and that the most honorable men have some
times found it necessary .to do ..a little evil in
order that much good might come;
,that it was
not expected to use the deposition in anypro
ceeding against Davis, as it was . evident, from
the course being pursued by the President,
that he would never order a trial for Davis on
account of his complicity in the assassination;
that all that was left of the rebellion was cen
tred
in Davis: and that the depositions he (Holt)
was collecting would go upon the files of the
Bureau of Military Justice, and form a solemn
Part of the history of the rebellion so that,
although Davis would escape with his life, he
would be branded in history as an assassin, and
covered with everlasting infamy. Deponent
further says that the other of said affidavits read
to him by Pryor, and to which lie was requested
to subscribe and swear, set forth the testimony
which deponent had given before the Military
commission on the trial of the assassins in re
gard to threats and violence by rebels towards
Conover for having given testimony before said
commission, and that said affidavit alleged that
the testimony given by deponent, as aforesaid,
was fabricated and false, and was fabricated by.
Conover and Judge Holt, and was known by
Judge Holt to be false in every particular, and
was given by deponent before the,.commission as
aforesaid, at the instance and request of Judge
Holt, who, having helped to fabricate it, and
knowing it to be false as aforesaid,promised to
pay, and did pay deponent liberally for so doing.
Deponent, says, further, that after said affidavit
had been read to him by said Pryor, he said to
Pryor and others present that there was ,not a
word of truth in either of the papers, and that he
did not see, although Conover had attempted to
explain to him, what good was to come to any
one from his swearing to such a pack of --
lies. That, Pryor replied that much good would
come fronfit; that Judge Holt was attempting
to fasten the fault and crime of proeuring bogus
witnesses upon Conover, and that the affidavit
deponent was required to make would there
fore protect Conover and fasten the outrageous
business on Holt. That in the next place the affi
davits would. aid the movement then being
made for .the release of Mr. Davis, who 'had'
been outrageously treated by bringing con-,
demnation upon Judge - Holt - and the . Bureau
of Military Justice, which would induce the
President to pardon Mr. Davis or release him
on parole; and also that "it would save de
_portent rnuch pain and trouble, 88 it was known
that deponent "had assisted in hunting. rip and
inducing certain parties 'to make false deposi
tions in the Bureau of Military Justice against
Mr. Davis, and it had been determined by the'
friends of Mr. Davis to prosecute for perjury and
subornation of.perjury all engaged in that busi
neSs who did not come forward and corifesi,
under oath, thatAl they had done had been done
with the knowledge and procurementof Judge
Holt, for the avowed purpose of branding Jeffer
son Davis as an assassin and covering his name
with infamy. That at thispoint Benjamin Wood
interrupted. Mr. Pryor. saying:. "Yes, and you
'benefit yourself still further by taking the money
which you will receive for making the affidavits.' ,
Deponent further says that it was then stated
to him by Wood and Pryor that depo
nent would receive $3OO upon ,swearing
to said affidavits; and if it should be
come necessary to publish them, or either of
them, or make any public allusion thereto in
which deponent's name should be mentioned, he
(deponent) would receive $3OO more: and in the
event of his being called upon to sustain the
aye, ments in his affidavits, or either of them, lu
a court of justice, or any egal proceedings, that
he should receive $l,OOO, in addition to the sums
so promised or paid to him. Deponent further
says that he then replied to the proposition and
.promises of Pryor arid 'Wood, that, while he was
ready to do anything in his power 'to get a friend
out of a difliculty,.or protect himself; lie would
see Jeff. Davis in before he would swear
to such -,-,--- lies as were required of him
to save his (Jeff. Davis's) neck from the
gallows. That deponent then said, so that
all present could hear, addressing his
words to Conover, that he could protect himself,
and Conover also, by seeing Judge Holt, and
that he would do so at once, for he believed that
there was danger of getting into a greater diffi
culty by the course proposed, and was bound
not "to put his foot in it, if it would save every
rebel from Jeff. Davis down. Deponent further
says that Pryor then rose and said: "Well, if you
decline to help your friends out of the difficulty
which you have helped them 4o get into, you are
at least a gentleman, we understand, who wflß
not repeat anything that has hecu said to you, or
any portion of the conversation which has con
fidentially taken place in yourpresence?" that
deponent replied that he should have nothing.
whatever to say on the subject, and that as he
declined to take any part in the business, he
would take his leave; that deponept then left the
office of said Pryor, leaving said Wood, Pryor
and Conover, and said James Matterson thereat.
Deponent further says that he became 'a
_party to
said interview at the request of Mr. Dunham
(Conover), who had given him to understand that
he (deponent) could, by making a deposition,
sustain him (Conover) in a quarrel which •had
arisen between him and Judge Holt, and assist
him (Conover) in a professional engagement, to
aid by a harmless artifice and stratagem a move
ment alleged to be on foot ,With knowledge
and approbation of President Johnson to insure
the release of Jefferson Davis on bail or parole.
Deponent further says that he was never
introduced by Conover or any one else to
Judge Ilolt for the purpose of making a
deposition implicating Jefferson Davis in the
assassination of President Lincoln, and that he
was newr requested by Judge Holt or any other
person to make a deposition, in his own or any
other name, connecting Jefferson Davis or any
other person with the assassination of President
Lincoln,and that he never did make such a depo
sition. Deponent further says that he never
made a deposition, Or stated that the testimony
given by him before said court for the trial of the
assassins as aforesaid, was false. and that he
hereby reiterates and reaffirms that the same and
every,„part, thereof was true.

sometimes known as Sanford Conover, counsel

Afilatft further states, that about the qf
July, 1866, he attended attracting and confdrence
at the office of said Pryor, iu Liberty'street iu
said city, at which all the above-named persons,
with the exception of said Taylor, were present,

which said Anser describes what transpired, and
details-what-was said - at --said- meeting by-said -
Wood, Pryor, and himself, and that the matters
so set forth in said affidavit by said Anser are in
all respects correct and true.
Affiant further says that several days before
said meeting at the °free of said Pryor, he was
called on by said Conorx, who, after reminding
him of some favors received by him at the hands
of enid Conover, asked alllant if ho (Conover)
could depend on Aleut to do him a favor; that
;aunt replied that he was Indebted to him
(said Conover) for many favors, and that if he
could in any way reciprocate it would afford
Win pleqsure to do so; • that said Conover then
stated that , the favor he required would render
it necessary for affiant to stretch his conscience
. a little, but that. he would have no knowledge
of the subject, and that atilant would get well
paid for the sin; that affiant replied-that he
wanted no pay for doing anything which would
not be criminal and involve him in difficulty;
that said Conover then stated that he had been
engaged in obtaining for Judge Holt witnesses to
impeach Jeff Davis in the assassination of Presi
dent Lincoln, and that some of the witnesses
having turned out to be bogus Judge Holt had
become alarmed, and in order to screen himself
from suspicion and censure had decoyed said
Conover into a trap before the Judiciary Com
mittee, endeavoring to ruin him, and had em
ployed two villains, called Campbell and Snevel,
to "dog him" about town with a view of causing
his.arrest. That he was determined not to be
crushed by Judge Holt or any other man, if he
could help it, and that if he had to fall he would
drag his enemy down with him; that he
therefore desireil afilant to make an affida
vit stating that Judge Holt had endea
vored to suborn affiant to make a false deposition
implicating Jefferson Davis in the assassination,
and that alliant had refused. That said Conover
also stated to affiant that the hostility of 'Judge
Holt had forced him (Conover) to enter tile ser
vice of Jett Davis's friends, and that they were
endeavoring to procure affidavits to implicate
Davis, by means of bogus witnesses, In the assas
sination of President Lincoln, and that therelore
affiant would be serving them as well as himself,
and that he would Ray affiant liberally for the
service. That said Conover then directed affiant
to meet him on the following evening, at the
Hone House, .in this city, which affiant did, and
afterwards accompanied said Conover • and
a gentleman named Bishop, who was with Con
over at the time, to the New York Hotel, where
he would introduce said affiant to Generals Tay
lor, Pryor, and other friends of Davis. Atli:int
further says that at the New York Hotel said
Bishop and himself were introduced to said Pryor
and Benjamin Wood, and several other persons
whose names he does not now recollect, but that
said Taylor had not arrived; that after some pre
liminary conversation between Conover and the
other parties present, Pryor said to afliaut and
said Bishop; "I suppose, gentlemen, Mr. Conover
has explained to you the object of our obtaining
affidavits from you. The Judge Advocate Gen
eral has been for a long time thirsting for the
blood of Mr. Davis, and has been
plotting not only to deprive :him of
his life, but of his reputation as
an honorable man and a Christian. He has hired
and paid a horde of perjurers, who stand ready
to swear away Mr. Davis's life and character, .
and the only way that we can frustrate his vil
lainous scheme is to fight him with his own wea
pons. By a thousand of the blackest lies ever
concocted he is trying to drag Mr. Davis to the
gallows, and we must therefore resort to false-
hoods to thwart his purpose and punish him for
his villainy. The man who would swear falsely i ns
the tools employed by Holt have done, to deprive
a man of his life, is the greatest scoundrel "con
ceivable; but the man who is willing to stretch
hie conscience to matters to thwart the designs
of the blood-thirsty conspirators and perjurers,
• iitid save their intended victim's life, deserves
all praise. But In making the affidavits we de
sire- of you, of course, no one outside of our
selves here, whose interest it will always be to re
main silent on this subject, will ever know or sus
pect thatyour affidavits are in any'respects untrue.
And if we are required to make any use of yonr
affidavits, so as to brifigin your names before the
public, it will do you no injury, as it will
make you appear honorable and honest men in
having rejected the golden offers of Judge Holt
to aidin his atrocious Scheme. .At the same
time, we do -not wish this service of you. for
nothing. AfEaut then further says Pryor and
'Wood then explained that we (Milan° and said
Bishop would - receive three hundred dollars each
on making the affidavits, and three hundred
dollars more in case it should be necessary
to publish them, or make any public use Of
them, and $l,OOO additional in case affiant or
sitid Bishop, or either, should be called on to re
iterate the statements in the affidavits on any
trial in any legal proceedings. Affiant further
says that said Bishop and himself having con
sented to make the required affidavits on the
terms and conditions above mo,ntioned, it was
arranged that they, should acembpany Conover
on the next day but one to the office of said
Pryor, when the ailidaVits would be ready for
their signatures. - Affiant further says that in the
early part of said interview whisky was brought
on the table around which most of those present
were sitting, and that after it had been
agreed by silent and Bishop to make the de
sired affidavits the conversation became quite
general, and that it appeared from
such conversation to be confidently believed by
the friends of Davie that Ahey would be able
by the course they were pursuing to so far invoke
popillar, condemnation on Judge ! Holt and
proceedings as--.to insure the `success of the
movement then being made and about to he
most vigorously pressed for Davis's release. All
ant further says that on the day appointed he ac
companied said Conover and the said Auser (the
said Bishop having failed to keep his appoint
ment to meet said Conover) to the office .of said
Pryor for the purpose of making the said affi
davits, as agreed, and that after the refusal of
said Miser to make the affidavits required of
him, and he had departed, said Pryor proceeded
to read to afliant the affidavit prepared for
that said shunt alleged that Judge. Holt had en
deavored, by offering a large sum of money, to
Induce affiant to make a false deposition
placating Jefferson Davis in the assassi 1011
of President Lincoln, and set out wife great
particularity conversations purporting to have
occurred between Judge Holt and affiant, and
the persuasion purporting •to have. been
used by Judge . Holt to prevail on affiant
- to make the .desired deposition, which Said
of innt alleged affihnt consented to do, but which at
the same time affiant did not intend to and never
did db.
And affiant further says thot after the affidavit
had been read to him by said Pryor, he assented
thereto, and the same was subscribed and sworn
to by him before a commissltmer of deeds or no
tary public, who. was brought into the office of
said Pryor for the purpose, and that affiant then
and there received $3OO for the service. And
afflont further says that atter the making of said
affidavit he several times, with said Conover, met
said Pryor and Wood, and was introduced to
several other friends of Davis, - including General
Dick Taylor, and that several weeks after making
the said affidavit he was requested to make and
did make another affidavit, which was substan
tially the same as the first, but set out more ela
borately and with greater particularity the con
versation alleged to have occurred between
Judge Holt end affiant on the occasion of the
alleged effort by Judge Holt to induce affiant to
make a hilse deposition as aforesaid, implicating
Jefferson Davis In the assassination of President
Line oln.
And affiant further says that the affidavits so
made by him were false in every respect; that
affiant never received any request or offer of re
ward from Judge Holt or any other person to
make a deposition implicating Jefferson Davis
or any one else in the assassination, and he
never saw Judge Holt in his life, and never
made an affidavit for any one. in regard to Jef-:
ferson Davis or the murder of Abraham Lin
coln. Affiant further says that in making said
affidavits for Pryor and others he did not feel
that he was outraging the laws of either God or
,man; thar ! he believed, from the representations
of "Contpver, Pryor, and others, and from artP
cies which appeared in the newspapers, that an
atrocious and murderous conspiracy had been
formed, with Judge Holt at its head, to convict
and shed the blood of Mr. ,Davis on the gallows
by meant) of bogurs witnesses and false testimony,
and that aflianthßieved that he was performing
a humane and Christian act in assisthig in this
way—the only way, as alleged, possible—to de
feat the diabolleal machinations:of !the supposed

A Battle with the lemilatts.
OMAHA, August 11.—Despatebes received
here to-day from Flirt Fetterman state that
Contractor Porter arrived there on August 18,
with the intelligence that a hard-fought bat
tle between the Indians and whites occurred
near Fort Phil. Kearney on August 2.
Early in thn morning an . ox train of thirty
wagons, guarded by fifty citizens and as many
soldiers, under command of Major Powell
and Lieutenant Jump, left the fort for the pur
pose of,gathering fuel. While thus engaged,
within five miles of the fort, a band of sava
ges, supposed to nuMber at least 250, rode 'up
and immediately attacked the whites, .who'
maie a desperate resistance, but the Idians,
after killing Lieutenant Jump and wounding
two privates, succeeded in stampeding the
cattle from the train corral. •
The whites then took position behind a
breastwork of wagOnsA boxes; and ox-yokes,
and the savages encircled them with wild
yells, continuing the fight with fiendish des
ptration. The whites fought the Indians for
three hours, killing and wounding a great
many, who were immediately carried off the
field by their comrades. The battle con
tinued with unabated vigor until Major Smith,
with two companies of United States regulars
and two howitzers, came to the rescue from
Fort Phil. Kearney, when the red men re
treated, going northeast, leaving five dead
bodies on the field,
Major Powell reports the total loss of the
savages at sixty killed outright, and a large
number wounded.
The official account of General Augur
charges Turkey-foot, chief of the Cheyennes,
as being alone guilty of the Plum Creek
massacre.
