he had a conversation with Mr.
Speed about the case in the Spring of
1866; Mr.. Shea, counsel for Davis,
was the only other person present. :
government would resist an applica-
ton for bail; Mr. Speed was aou-
commlttal, and gave no information
as to what the government would do; !;
had no communication whatever
with the President on the subject at
the time he went to Richmond; he
had no knowledge what the govern
ment would do; it was at the sug-
gestion of Mr.. Shea, who is an old
friend, that he became bondsman for
Davis; no government officer solicit
ed him to become bail; had no COM
munication with Davis on the subject;
there was hub bub against his GO
ing bail; Senators Wade and Chan
dler advised against it; they thought it
would be bad policy believe
they thought that it would
have bad effect-on the Republican
party; did not tell them it was a par
ty question to bail Davis, he having
been imprisoned so long; in the first
place, was desirous of bringing him to
trial the first year; I thought we
could compel the Government to
bring him to trial by writ of habeos
corpus; finally. I thought the time for
a trial to any good purpose had pass
ed; [ did not go bail for him with a
view of never having him tried [
wished him tried, if the Government
ever wished to try him; if he had
anything to do with the assassination,
or the imprisoning or starving of pris-
oners, [ wish him tried know of no
fact to justify. either of these charges.
