THE ASSASSINATION PLOT Exculpation of Jefferson Davis. — Minority Report of Judiciary Com m ittee — Astounding Developments of Corruption —Subordination of Perjury — Demand for l/iQ Trial of Mr. Davis. I Ho not say that Judge Holt did ; himself originate the charges, or or ganize the plot of the perjurers, be cause Ido not know that he did. I merely say that a plot, based on the assassination, was formed against Da I vis, Clay, and others, and that the plotters did, and do even yet, operate j through the Bureau of Military Jus j tice, and that the argument forwarded by Mr. Holt to the Committee on the I Judiciary looked to mo like a shield extended over the plitters; extended, it may be, from no personal animosity to Davis, Clay, and others; extended, it may be, with a desire to save cer tain officers of the Government from the charge of having been betrayed into the mistakes of a vague apprehen sion, the blunders of an excitement which it was their province to allay or control, net to increase or share, but still extended over acknowledged, self-convicted, most wicked perjury. And the fajt that Mr. Holt did him self pay money to more than one of them, to those who acknowledged they swore for money, may awaken a suspicion that there was bribery, as well as perjury ! perhaps not conscious bribery, but the payment for false testimony was committed; and al though it may have been done inno cently, it produced the usual effect of subordination of perjury. For the sake of humanity and jus tice, I would in this report press upon the House a request that the cross examination of Merritt be translated and published. lam aware that the Executive, acting under the advice of Senator \Y ilson, of Massachusetts, and other gentlemen of loyalty no less known, has released Mr. Clay on pa role, and that the release is in itself an acknowledgement that the Presi dent disbelieves, not only Merritt’s testimony, but also that of every one ol the members of the plot. Put this is not sufficient. It is due to all the accused that the nation at last see and tecognize the flimsiness and malice of these monsliotls perjuries. Let it be recollected that Conover’s own exposition of his perjuries was made in Canada during the trial, anti then how are wo to account for this man’s not only being left at large, but being sent as a competent witness to testify before a Judiciary Commit tee of this House, and this testimony, already disappioved, accompanied by an argument from Jugde Holt shaped to induce a belief in it ? The Testimony of Henry Finegas going to implicate George N. Sanders and William C. Cleary led me to investigate h : s character and credibil ity. I find he was almost reared by a man named Price, in Poston, now residing in Washington, and known as a gambler and a pfze lighter; that Finegas adopted and followed the pro fession ; that he went with Putler’s expedition to New Orleans, entered the service, held a commission, left the service on accountof misdemeanors known to General N. P. Banks ; that Finegas next appears a detective in Norfolk, and lor certain crimes is expelled the Department of Virginia and North Carolina, in company with another detective, named Long. And thus one by one I find each and all of the witnesses brought for ward r.t the so-called trial to-implicate Jefferson Davis, Clement C. Clay, Jacob Thompsou and others, to be either convicted perjurers, or men of infamous life, and, therefore, the first conclusion to which I arrived is, that all the testimony taken to establish said complicity, under the pretence of prooving a general conspiracy, is whol ly unworthy of credit, and that its ex parte reception even by that court, and the protection cf the witnesses, was an act highly reprehensible, dis creditable to the officers of the court, a disgrace to the nation and its milita ry service, under a misapplication of the powers and regulations of which this conspiracy to alarm the people and jeopardize the reputation, liberty, and life of innocent men was fostered and partially consummated. With the testimony taken at the celebrated trial was forwarded from that strange receptacle of evidence, “the Bureau of Military Justice,” affidavits taken since. Among these was the affidavit of one Campbell, acknowledged by him to be such, and to have been sworn to at the said Bureau. Campbell was brought before us and asked if the contents of that affidavit were true. — He said it was all false. He was then asked— ‘Why did you make it? ‘I was informed by Conover that Judge Holt had offered a reward of one hundred thousand dollars for the capture of Jefferson Davis; that he [Holt] had no authority really to do it ; that now Jefferson Davis was taken they had not enough against him to justify them in what they had done; that Judge Holt wanted to get wit nesses to prove that Davis was inter ested in the assassination of Mr. Lin coln so as to justify him in paying the one hundred thousand dollars.’ ‘I never lived in New Orleans.’ Tliomasville, Georgia, Thursday, August 23, 1866. [ln his affidavit he had sworn he did.] ‘I never was in Richmond.’ [He had sworn to residing there ] ‘I do not know John Surratt, and. never saw him.’ [He had sworn to conversations witL him.J ‘‘l never saw Jefferson Davis.— This evidence was prepared by Cone’ ver. I saw him prepare a portion of it. I never was in the Confederate service. I never saw Benjamin.— Conover said I should be well com pensated for my evidence. My prop er name is not Campbell, but Joseph Horne. My evidence was taken in Judge Holt’s office. Speaking of the . other witnesses, Campbell swore . ‘Joseph Shevel is not his real name; his name is Roberts.’ ‘Farnam B. Wright is not his real name, it is John Waters ‘John 11. Patton is not his real name., it is Smith.’ ‘Sarah Douglass is not her real name. Her name was Dunham.’ [This is Conover’s true name.] ‘There was another woman sworn. She gave an assumed name.’ ‘One of these women was Conover’s wife, the other his sister-in-law.’ Conover told me that if I engaged in it, it was not going to hurt any body. Jeff. Davis would never be brought to trial, and that if this evi dence got to him he would leave the country. Conover directed me to as sume the name .of Campbell, There was a person described by that name who was supposed to be implicated in that affair, and I was representing that party.’ ‘I met Conover first by the appoint ment of Snevcl. Snevel said 1 could make money out of it. Money was my motive. I received SG2S. I re ceived §IOO from Conover and §SOO from Judge Holt, I got $l5O at Boston and $l5O at St. Albans.’ ‘ ‘I went to Canada to hunt up a witness to swear false, who was to rep resent Lamar. Snevel and Conover together arranged with me to go to Canada/ ‘Snevel saw the write'n evidence I was to swear to after Conover wrote it/ These hurried, yet correct, extracts from the testimony of Campbell be fore the Committee may seem all suf ficient to gauge the value of Conover’s evidence, Sncvel’s and his own ; but lest they should seem to lack con-* Urination, I append extracts from that of Snevel, sworn May 24, 18GG. . The deposition he made before Mr. Holt was read to him. He stated it was ‘false from begin ning to end/ ‘Conover wrote out the evidence, and I learned it by heart/ ‘I made it to make money/ ‘I received $375 from Holt/ ‘I received SIOO from Conover.’ ‘Farnhatn B. Wright’s name is really John Waters.’ ‘John McGill is an assumed name, not his/ [These witnesses of two names each were witnesses who had been procured by the Bureau of Military Justcce, and who had testified to coroborato the testimony of Conover and Merritt, as. Campbell aud Snevel did j Snevel further says : • • ‘I told Conover that I was coming on here to testify to the truth'; that 1 had not had any rest since I swore to’ what I did. He said that 1 would be in a worse fix then than 1 was now. — This was last Saturday. He’ said things would be settled, and there would be no further trouble. • When the false evidence I was to swear to was read over to me by Conover, Campbell and Conover’s brother-in law, Mr. Anscn, were piesent.’ ‘Conover said lie knew what Holt would ask me, and Conover asked me the same questions. I gave this false evidence before Mr. Holt. When I got wrong Conover would nod his head. Conover was present when I was sworn by Holt. When Cono ver would nod I would correct it as near as I could. Campbell and I rehearsed at the hotel in Washing ton/ Conover in his testimony said : ‘I was asked if such a sum would be satisfactory. I said it would. I can’t tell how niueh I received.’ ‘Conover was an agent of the Gov ernment to hunt up evidence/ Having but little time to Cnd this report, I will not swell it with any additional extracts from the confess ions of these people. Conover was present when Camp bell and Snevel testified thus plainly to his villainy. I must inform the House that Con over alias Watson, alias dunham, etc., etc., was not ordered into arrest; that the committee, at his request, permit ted him to go to New York to procure other testimony. One officer was sent with him, and Conovea effected his escape, of course ; has not been heard of since, and has probably left the country. Whether any efforts have been made to catch him, I know not, but as he was the teacher and guide of perjuries committed by the other witnesses procured through the Bu reau of Military Justice, it would seem the solemn duty of this Govern ment to apprehend, try, and punish so foul a criminal, and in his trial, as certain what temptations, and through whom they came, led him to the manufacturing of so awful a plot.— Conover it was who found Montgom ery ; Conover it was who found Mer ritt, Campbell, Snevel and the rest; who rehearsed and taught them, and as professor of perjury, watched his pupils in their delivery thereof at lesson-time before Judge Ilolt. Judge Holt himsilf was a witness before the committee. He of himself knew uotliing of course, but he swore | to his own opinions, derived from the trustworthy testimony of the parties described, for whose testimony they say the Judge himself paid them, j The testimony and revelations of Campbell and Snevel, the absconding of Conover, were not needed by me . in aid of forming my opinion of the value of Montgomery’s perjuries or those of Conover; still, when they ] testified so clearly, when the females of Conover’s famiiy were shown to j have, also been sacrificed by him to 1 this demon of falsehood for lucre, the cool turpitude of the whole crew sick, ened me with shame, and made me sorrow over the fact, that such people could claim the name of American, while I wondered who the hidden arch-conspirator behind Conover might be. The transparency of the whole plot, the imbecility of its organization and management, its ease of discovery by the poorest tests of the cheapest logic 5 betrayed in the framer so complete a reliance in popular credulity, so thor ough an appreciation of the maxim that the masses of men believe im probable lies more readily than those colored with an air of truth, that I scarce resist the desire of having Campbell, Conover, Snevel, the wo men, and the rest, all arrested and handed over to the reliable civil tri , bunals of the country, charged with perjury. The proof was wihin easy reach; plain, and cumulative. I felt the honor of the nation required the pun ishment of these people, were it only in atonement for the credulity of those in high places, who had so read ily credited or appeared to credit and act upon such a tissue of absudities, and so stated my views to the Com mittee. . Not one of these witnesses, nor the parties using and instructing them, if any besides Conover, possessed any peculiar talent, for imposture other . than impudence and military power to awe all questionings. A. man of sense by trying to give this plot an appearance of probability would most likely have failed soon and no less signally, a3 Wise men often do in addressing a multitude, from not dar ing to calculate upon the prodigious extent of their credulity, especially where the figments presented to them involve the fearful and the terrible. Dr. Pallin, the man Blackburn, Mr. Robinson, and other innocent citizens, nearly fell a sacrifice to the fury and fear of poison, arson, and murder which these witnesses ereated, and owe their safety only to a peculiarity of our national temperament. We are most easy of all people satiated with bloody punishment. Other na tions are like the tame tiger, which, when its. native appetite for slaughter is indulged i'n'one instance-, rushes on promiscuous ravage. We rather re semble ‘the sleuth dog, which, eager,- •fiorce, and clamorous in pur'suit of his • prey, desists from it-as soon, as blood is sprinkled upon his path. The whole of -th-is affair,. wliclr would'simply pass'down to posterity as an absurdity unsurpassed, in the history of nations,-.were it net for tlw serious dangers and consequences it came near entailing, was drawn’ into the arena of politics. i A few weeks ago a radical editor wrote : “Would that the hand of Booth had been less steady, that of Atzcrodt more sure and a woman, in the employ of the Government, published an accusation against the President as one of the conspirators against the life of Mr. Lincoln Recollecting that the taking of his own life was a leading object of At zerodt’s and Booth’s, one may say of Andrew Johnson what a writer of the Popish plot said against Charles the Second : “He should be tried for conspiring his own death and hanged in terrorem.” That this plot, to prove designs of poisoning by infection, of complicity with the past and future assassinations, should have culminated into such absurdities, is natural, for falsehood run mad outstrips itself, and the dan gerous allegations of Conover, Mer jitt, Hyams, Campbell, Snevel, Mont gomery and Finegas have their proto types in Other lands and times, though to Conover, the original idea of adver tising for his own apprehension as a false witness is an everlasting claim to a high place in the pages of the Couses Celebres of this age. Thank heaven, however, that we are only to blush at the fact that, upon the accu sation of the most infamous of man kind, common informers, incited, if not bribed, by offers of reward of these scourgings of jails, and the refuse of the detective office, a Government like ours should brand those who had been its ministers with crimes known only to the inferior civilization of the middle ages, and that we have not to sorrow over their guilt. Who originated this plot, and plac ed the government in so embarrassing an attitude, I cannot ascertain. The jealous secrecy and eare exercised by the gentlemen from Massachusetts in keepiug most of the documentary evidence from me for careful perusal, the secrecy attending ‘ every step of these proceedings, makes certainty on my part impossible as to the author ship of’ these illilinkcd. perjuries.— Although I do not attribute the course, of the.committee towards me to any desire on their part to screen . them selves, and. I am so .deeply impressed that there must be guilt somewhere, that I earnestly urge upon the. House an investigation of the origin of the. plot concocted to alanu the nation, to murder and dishonor iunoeent men, and to place . tto Executive in the undignified position’ of making, under proclamation, charges which cannot, in the face of the accused, or even in their absence, stand, a preliminary examination before a justice of the peace. , It was not till noon’ Friday, yester day, the last day but one of the sess ion, that the. committee and the gen tleman from Massachusetts allowed me to read the testimony or farts thereof that my memory alone should not.be trusted to report. It was then within twenty-four hours <?f its ad journment that Congress, through this, committee, allowed mo to get ready to prepare this report, when tho un finished business of’ the. session was . crowding upon me, and no time was left me to pursue to the head.these villainies I detected in the hand,-or I might have been able plainly to tell Congress and the country that if in this plot We had’ a Titus Oates in Conover, so also we had a Shafts bury somewhere. Had more than twenty four hours been allowed me, or had those tw.entyfour hours been less burthened. with other duties rei quiring immediate discharge, I might have been able, in addition to expos ing the perjury, to have told this House who concocted it; who screened, it—l.do not atttack the committee; .why it was concocted and screened! and, finally, why a committee of Con gress acted ‘towards one of its own members like a Venetian council of tert, whose legislation and inquiries were being kept secret for the benefit of some Foscari. . • Need I add in Conclusion, that neither in verbal or writen testimony, there is no credible evidence what ever to criminate Mr. Davis as an accomplice before or after the fact in the murdor of Mr. Lincoln? There is not any evidence worthy of the slightest credit, that connects either Mr. Clay, Mr. Cleary, Mr. Thompson, Mr. Tucker, Mr. I'alfiu, Mr. Stuart, nor any others charged therewith, now at liberty, with the assassination dU rectly or Indirectly. ■ Nor is there the slightest possible tinge of probability, according to the results of investigation, that-any plot or plans ever did exist among those thfifowith to poison or infect with fevers the good, people of this .na tion. . .. I cannot agree with the statement made in the concluding paragraph of the majority report, that— • “It is the duty of the Executive Department of the Government for a reasonable time, and by the proper meatis, to pursue the investigations for the ‘purpose of ascertaining the truth.’’ . • . The Government, through the Bu reau of Military. Justice, has pursued investigations, over One year with the rigor of’ military power, and the expen diture of vast amounts, and in Conover, Campbell, • Snev'el and company we have the result of their labors. How long is Mr. Davis to lia under these imputations without oven a prelimina ry examination ? This is worse -than the treatment of IVEnghten, worse than the quicker cruelties of an anto da-fc. Disagreeing with t-he majority report on this point as ou most others, I believe it to be the duty of the au thorities holding Davis to give him a preliminary examination, as provi ded by the usages and practice of all civilized nations. If in that examina tion it bo found there remain anything unsatisfied, it is the duty of the Gov ernment to immediately hand him to the civil tribunals, that he and the others accused may have opportunity to show to the world the malice and falsehood of these wicked accusations. The discoveries of the doings of the Bureau of Military Justice render it a duty that whatever be done in this matter hereafter, be done in a less suspicious locality, and freed from se crecy. Evil motives alone fear the light. The Government of this country should have in this matter nothing to hide or fabricate iu darkness. As regards the charge of treason, that is already before the proper tribu nal, and I have only to express sur. prise that the judicial branch of the Government should so long have de ferred the trial, and that a prisoner could be ready for trial so long, ask for it so persistently, and yet in defiance of law and usage be so long denied it. The assertion that legislation by Congress is needed ere the crime of treason can bring a man to trial is wholly unfounded, and sounds like a shrinking from the fulfilment of a most plain duty. duly 23, 1866. A, J RoGErs. VOL.yr.-No. 34. Brownlow Kampant,—ln BroVja low’3 Knoxville Whig of the-Ist of August, is a leading article, of which’ the fallowing is ihe concluding paia graph : ‘ It is the settled purpose of the trai>. tors at the North, and the rebels at tho South, to involve the country in anoth er bloody war, and this they aim to do during the . next two years, under the, lead of Andrew Johnson. An attempt to force Southern traitors into theiv seals in Congress with bayonets will bo made tho occasion for the outbreak. Let the despot now at the head of. tlix;’ Government attempt a thing of . thi* kind if he dare. A million of gallant- Union men will at once appear in tho.

[Cheers.] That tendency is to despotism, the depotism of a tyranni cal caucus —the meanest of all despo tism from the days of the seventy ty rants down. [Cheers.] There has occured this session, in relation to caucuses, in Congress, what never occured before in the iiistofy of the Government, and that is, that caucuses undertook to bind their members upon questions of And yet these nun have suffered themselves to he led and bound hand and foot; and many of them-—I will say the majority of them—in the. House of Representatives, against their judgement, have been led by Thad deus Stevens, and the men associated with him, to make this unwarrantable, unjustifiable, this most devilish war fare upon Andrew Johnson.
