CARD FROM AN ADJurANT GENERAL OF THE WAR
OFFICE IN REGARD TO THE CIRCUMSTANCE OF
THE ADMISSION OF A PRIEST TO ATTEND ON
MRS. sURRATT.
WASHINGTON July 90 1885.
To THE Agent OF rm ASSOCIATED PREss:-
sR-Referring to the special despatch to the New
York Tribune, from Warrington Of the 10th inst pub.
ished in the issue of that journal Of the 17th relative to
the circumstances attending the issue Of pass to the
Rev. Mr.. Walter to attend Mrs Surrat beg TO state
that the facts in the follows:-
On the 9th inst the Rev Mr. Walter called at the War
Department and asked for pass TO visit Mrs. Surratt in
the military prison. saying If not mistaken, that she
had expressed desire him submitted the request
to the Secretary OF War; who at said that pass
might be given. Neither the Rev Mr.. Walter my
self then knew Of the approval Of the sentence Of
the military commission in the of Mrs Surratt.
sent Mr. Walter q pass, but afterwards fearing
that the pass signed BY myself might not under the
circumstances be accepted by the officer In charge Of the
prison, In order that there might DO possibility Of
disappointment in the admission of clergyman to afford
the necessary spiritual services sent Mr. Barry. clerk
In my Office, to the Rev. Mr. Walter, and to tell him
that would be better not to go the pass sent but
that would again see the Secretary OF War; and as he
had assented to the visit Of the clergyman to the prisoner
would get pass signed by himself otherwise there
was possibility OF his being put to the trouble OF going
70 the prison without being enabled to secure admission
IL was also part OF my design that Mr. Barry should
impress upon Rev. Mr. WaIter the necessity Of good
fatl IN the use OF the pass when replaced AFTER thus
sending Mr. Barry to Father Walter went to the Secre
tary OF War and asked his signature to pass
referred to above, when upon his signing which, said
