NORTHAMPTON

Booths Diary, suppressed by the pros
ecutors before ths~military tribunal that
made mockery of justice in the trial of
the assassins Of Mr.. Lincoln, is again be-
fore the public. DR.. Mudd's friends thus
stated the matter in recent interview
with President johnson:
Mr.. Merrick said he would discuss
nothing, but merely call attention to a
fact. The matter of fact to which he re-
ferred he deemed of the graVest import
ance. At the trial before the military
commission the Judge Advocate exam
ined Everton j. Conger, who was beside
Booth at the time of his death. The
witness as appears by reference to the
record of the trial, identified knife, a
pair OF pistols, file, pocket compass,
spur, pipe, and various other insignif-
cant articles, as having been on the per~
son of Booth at the time of his death,
and the court was left to infer
that the articles identified were all the
articles found and taken from the dead
mans person. 1t was the duty of the
prosecution to have produced and proved
them all, and the court and the country
suppc sed that all of them had been pro-
dueed and proved. Many months after
wards it became known that at the time
Of the trial the Judge Advocate was in
possession of diary which had been
kept by Booth and was taken from him at
the time of his death. Public opinion
finally forced this diary to be brought
from its place Of cOncealment, and
it was offered by the government on
the trial of SuTatt This paper full
ly acquits DIR. Mudd Of any compiled
ty in the assassination plot. Mr.. Mer~
rick read a portion Of the diary to the
President, and said he based this applica-
ton for pardon on the ground that the
tribunal that tried Mudd were cheated
and deirauded Of this evidence, which, If
before them, would have secured his &C
quittal and further that he, the PresiN
dent, was cheated and defrsudad into an
approval Of his sentence by those bad and
malicious men. 1t was, he said, now be-
| fore the President, and he claimed that
by all the rules that govern the exercise
Of executive clemency, Mudd was entitled
to pardon, for he was suffering under
4 judgment obtained by fraud. In the
course of Mr. Merrick's remarks the
| President said that long after the con-
| spiracy trial, when he had found out the
existence of tie diary, he was the person
who had requested it to be made public,
