learn from the same source that
Secretary Stanton and Judge Holt
have been before the Judiciary Com
mittee, and testified relative TO the

exhibited to the Committee: that
Judge Holt testified that the diary

other orticles found upon Booth, i'm
mcdiately upon the arrival of the cap
tors Of the assassin in Washington
City; that the book has been in the
sole custody and control of Judge Holt,

purposes Of himself and his confeder-
a.es; that the balance Of the diary con-
sists Of n glorliication Of himself,
Booth whom he likened TO Brutus,
and denunciation of his victim, whom
he calls tyrant, &c.
Judge Holt further testified that in
his judgment the contents OF the diary
shed no light upon the case, and,
therefore, even if that character OF
evidence, being statements after the
fact, were admissible, he did not deem
ii proper to offer il, and the only evil
dence on the subject, offered on the
trial of the assassins, was that Of the
publis her of the Intclli2encer, who
;,roved that he had not received the
communication which Booth pretend
ell he had sent 70 that paper and,
finally, there Is absolutely no evidence
of any kind that Booth ever wrote one
line in tho book, other than tat which
is now found there, and thus Yc are rid
Of this terrible Butler bugaboo.

"rhe influence Of this Coppcrhead
