to bring about change without in
volving witness, as an officer of the
army, in the matter. The Pres-

but if it could be brought before
the Court, Stanton's case would not
stand an hour. Stanbcry asked u

ton is q coward. Sherman gave no
positive answer; answering IN
writing. Senator Henderson asked,
"did the President, on either occa-
sion, express determination to re-
move Stanton from Office ~ Shcr-
man answered, the President never
