The Attorney General is said to have
hesitated long time before he furnished
his recent opinion sustaining Texas
court martial in the trial of citizen for
the murder of freedman. He said that

suggested an entirely opposite decision,
but that General Butler said he would
offer resolution on the subject in the
next session if he (Hoar) did not make
an example of some of these fellows, and
under this pressure the Courts opinion
was made.
