CARD FROM JUDGE ADVOCATE GENERAL HOLT.

To IBB EproR OF THE CHRONICLE
I thank YOU for the explicitness with which you
stated in your issue Of this morning, that certain ada
Wits previously published in your paper, PROCESSING TO
expose conspiracy against the Bureau OF Military JUS
tce constitute any OF the records or that
office were obtained from IT, 'and that mother
nor any officer OF said Bureau responsible for their
publication" Your statement 10 true in every pa-icu
lar The papers referred TO were the files OF
Bureau, had they any connection whatever with
its records; have they been under my control
were they published with my knowledge or consent
after any consultation with me intmation 10 me or
any such purpose
may add further that the declaration made that 4
"recommendaonn for Executive clemencv in the case
OF Sanford Conover had from the Bureau or Mill
tary Justice 10 Ny endorsement the letter Of
Mr. Riddle was written in my own house, and aligned by
myself rs q citizen, and had connection whatever
with the Bureau OF Military Justice II sense
Recommendation" and neither contained, nor was
intended TO contain, any expression OF confidence
in the general integrity OF truthfuiness OF
Conovcr. An examination OF Its language VIII show
that IL based solely Q principle Of re-
cognized public policy, applicable to tho state OF
facts presented by Mr. Riddle important services rem
dered by Conover in the trial OF Snrratt 10 which state
OF facts II strictly confined and that IL neither
urged suggested any definite Executive action. All
averments intimations matter by whom made or
however supported, which seek to connect mo in any
degree in any way with the alleged conspiracy against
the President, wholly false, all insruatons
that in the step ] took in concert with Mr. Riddle
either aimed desired 10 qualify Conover a witness
for any purpose whatever. J. HOLT.
