lowing:
John Mitchell made his first appear
ance IN the grounds of Fortress Mon
roe this morning. The permission
requested of the War Department 10

being made for the approaching trial

removed. a courtroom for the use
of the Freedmen's Bureau is being
prepared at the building lately occu-
pied as a hospital, and known as the
Chesapeake Hospital In this build

down and forensic hall prepared,
but not for the purpose of trying
jeff Davis.
1t is not at all unlikely that jeff.
will be tried within the Fortress.
There are apartments there of space
sufficient to afford accommodation for
a ,.,ilitary tribunal, forby such an one
will jeff. be tried, if he is brought to
the bar Oh Old Point Comfort.
