the following correction to the Post of a state
ment published in that paper this morning:
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
WASHINGTON, ID. g., June I'D, 1878.
To the Editor OF the Post:
The statement made in your paper this
morning of my presence at dinner party at
Ncrmley'S OH the evening of the assassination
OF MIR. Lincoln, when and where package is
said to have been exhibited by Mr. John F.
COyle, as package given to him on that day
in the Market Space by j. Wilkes Booth, and
which, at my suggestion. was destroyed I'M
opened, is without the least truth so far as |
am concerned. / never dined with the gentle
men named-SOme of whom | do nOG even
know. / was not in this city at the time men,
toned. | first heard of the assassination of
Mr.. Lincoln in Richmond, Va, where | had
gone, in company with my brother on private
business, connected with certain land claims
i'll West Virginia, in which my father, then liv-
ing. was interested, and, of course, could not
have beeen present on the occasion alleged.
L am at a loss to understand the motives
which could induce any one, without regard to
truth or shadow of Justification, to drag nv
name into such matter.
