passion Of the moment the Confederacy
would be blamed for this crime, which IL
had no hand IN committing. They knew
that Lincoln's death would make
harsher terms for the conquered.

Reform in the Horse

size Of the chamber one-third. to move

Office, the need Of desks for the trans-

that some provision should be made for
