CHAPTER II.

Anxious to hear the details, are you?-
Perhaps you imagine it must have been

geling In the breasts of the "good loyal
Union" people of Viola such as used to
lead men to take military possession of gro
cerles and beer and candy shops, In your
city, by way of carrying out confiscation
principles.
Or you may be thinking of some horse
presentation case of Patriotism; wherein
some bold champion, flushed with fresh lau-
rels, and backed by squad of armed sol
diers, sallies out from his ambush, and takes
captive, by surprise, some unarmed luckless
Editor, while in the peaceful pursuit of his
dinner-bearing off in triumph a wig and
cane, from the field of battle but it was like
none of these.
Rather arrange your stereoscope SO as to
bring to the minds eye the case of the good
old innocent, decrepit, Mr.. Bulley, down on
the Slough, when detachment of the Fed
eral Army, every man a good loyal Union
man, entered his crockery store, and there
imagine you see the objective point of at
tack perched behind pyramid of wash
bowls and pitchers and diverse crockery
ware, (some created unto honor and others
to dishonor) denying, with rueful counten-
ance, the soft impeachment of disloyal
voting and foreign proclivities and you may
then have a little idea of one scene in
the Viola Riot.
But the case did not rise out of any moral
or political cause, nor even as a military
necessity" To tell you the fact, (let me
whisper in your ear there was woman
in it. =
A widow lady, of apparently high respec-
liability and easy address, came from Ohio
here to enforce her claim to the large brick
Hotel in the village. 1t was occupied and
kept by Mr. Harriet, and she commenced
proceedings before justice of the peace
here with view to getting him out. Mr..
Harriet took a change of venue to another
township. And pending these proceedings,
and before any judgment was obtained, he
was requested to give the ladyks a base of
operations, part of the hdhss Harriet
could not see it in that way. But the spirit
of chivalry was in some way aroused, and a
large body of good "loyal Union" men
of Viola, beli@ing that possession was the
nine ptnts oflaw, concluded to enforce the
ladys wishes.
Now don't deceive yourself by surprising
that this was mere rabble, got up out of
the rag-tag and bob-tail of little out -oftba.

WAR DEPARTMENT.,

WASHINGTON Cry, May IA, 1867.
SIR: / have the honor to submit herewith
a copy of the entries contained in the memor-
andum book found on the person of J. Wilkes
Booth at the time of his capture, certified by
General Holt, Judge Advocate General, (who
has possession of the book, together with
his report in relation thereto.
The memorandum book was first seen by
me about the Goth day of April, 1866, short
ly after Booths capture, and a few hours be-
fore his remains reached Washington. 1t
was brought to my house by Provost Mar
shall Baker and another person, who was,
think, Lieutenant Colonel Conger.
The book was then examined by me, in
presence of General Eckert, Assistant Sec
rotary of war, and was found to contain on
" the entries certified by General Holt, also
some photographs of females. Immediately
preceding the entries some pages appeared
to have been cut out, but there was nothing
indicating what had been written thereon or
whether anything had been written, nor when
or by whom they had been cut out.
Immediately after careful examination OF
the book and its contents, it was placed in
the hands of General Eckert, in the same
condition as when | first saw it, to be deliv.
cred to the Judge Advocate General, in
whose possession, after its delivery to him by
General Eckert, | am informed and believe
it has continued until the present time.
The last time ! saw the book was some
time last winter. 1t was then before the
Judiciary Committee ofthe House of Repre-,
sentatives, and was, in all respscts, in ex
actly the same condition as when | saw il
first, without any change or alteration, SC
far as | could discover, in its contents.
General Ecl8ert reported to me that, upon
receiving the memorandum book from me, he
sealed it up and locked it up in his safe, and
it continued in his possession until he deli
vered it to the Judge Advocate General, and
that it was then in the same condition as
when it was brought to my house by Baker.
Very respectfully, your obe'nt serv't,
EDWIN NJ. STANTON, Sec. of War.
