PROCEEDINGS ON MONDAY.
WASHINGTON. Monday Mav


This afternoons session of the commits.
sion for the trial Of the assassins was quite
brief, owing to the non-arrival Of several
witnesses At 4 o'clock the commission
adjourned until 10 o'clock tomorrow There
is no probability that at that time the wit
ncsses can be brought to the courtroom, as
every one seems determined to witness the
military review that will be going on all
day. 1t is likely, therefore, that the com
mission will adjourn till Thursday
Most of the testimony this afternoon was
merely cumulative upon the visits of Booth
Payne, Atzeroth, and others of the con-
spirators, to the house Of Mrs. Surratt, and
as to the position Of Harold, Arnold, Span
gler and O'Laughlin No new feature of
great materiality was brought out as af-
fccting directly the prisoners at the bar.
More than ordinary interest was excited
by the production of the letter of the rebel
Lieut.. w. Aston, which was found among
the archieves Of the rebel War Depart
mcnt, surrendered by Gen. Johnston. The
proposition of this writer to rid the country
Of its deadliest enemies-meaning Mr.
Lincoln and his Cabinet--by assassinating
them, was shown to have been entertained
ny util bdN lS. anu Iudl llC ndO uiTtClGu HIS
Private Secretary of War, for his consid-
Grafton. When the reading of this letter
was concluded, an audible murmur Of hor-
ror was heard from all parts of the room,
especially among the ladies, who made
such eXclamations as "Oh, the monster
Oh horrible ! Shame, shame !" This was
the first direct testimony yet produced in
the case, showing that Davis had at any
time entertained the idea of assassinating
the President and the heads of departments,
and its Importance was enhanced by the
fact, that the reference of Davis to his Sec
retary Of War was dated in December last,
at which time it has been clearly proven
that Booth and some Of his original con-
fcderatcs were actively engaged in plotting
for the murder of Mr. Lincoln. The intro
duction Of this letter establishes the fact
beyond any donbt, if it be good for no other
purpose, that Davis was not only capable
Of entertaining proposals for assassinating
our President, but was willing to treat with
cod-bloodcd villains for its accomplish
mcnt
The link in the chain of evidence that d.
rectly connects Booth and the prisoners in
an agreement with Davis to murder Mr..
Lincoln and Mr.. Seward, has not been pro-
duced on this trial, but may yet be offered
before the government closes its testimony.

FRIDAYS PROCEEDINGS
WASHINGTON. FRIDAY

WASHINGTON, Friday, May 26, 1865
The Courtroom was to-day again crowd
ed with spectators of both sexes, the largest
part of them being unable to find seats
The main attraction is the appearance of
the prisoners.
After the immense mass Of evidence TAX
en- yesterday had been read, the Rev. Faith
er Lanahan, living near BeantOwn, Mary
land, and the Rev. Father Young, pastor
of Roman Catholic Church, were severally
sworn, and testified that Mrs. Suratt has
always had the reputation Of being a wo-
man of Christian character. These witness
cs had never heard her express either loyal
or disloyal sentiments
Mr. Maulsby brother-in-law of OLaughlin,
testified that the accused was engaged in
the produce business with his own brother
i'll Washington and that CLaughlin and
Booth were schoo-lellows and had been in
innate for II years.
The counsel for O'Laughlm sought to
prove that O'Laugh;n made no flight or
evasion, but was willing to surrender him
self to the officers Of the law.
The witness said he surrendered OLaugh-
lin by the authority of the accused himself
After recess, VIM. Maulsby was recall
ed and stated the circumstances of OLaugh-
Inns arrest, saying: Arrangements were
made Saturday, after the assassination,
for that purpose O'Laughin, the witness
said, was in the Rebel army between 1861,
and 1862
William Chamberlain testified he was "a
clerk in the War Department Of the Confed-
crate States. and became acquitted with
the handwriting Of John A. Campbell, As
sistant Secretary of War, and Harrison,
jeff. Davis's private secretary he identified
the ENDORSEMENTS on the letter of Lieut. Ais
ton as theirs
This letter was read on a former day {;
the writer was seeking employment to
strike at the heart Of the nation
Charles Sweeney testified he was in the
war and captured prisoner in Richmond
and afterward i'll Andcrsonvile &; he spoke
of the insufficiency and bad quality of what
he called the GRUB; 'the Rebels shot down
some of the men like brutes, while others
died for want Of food Gen Cobb said all
