Made General Illiiicliam Believe lie
Had Bnotli'e Diary.
General John A. lilngliam was u
member of the military tribunal that
trleil Mrs. Kurrutt anil the Lincoln us-
sasHinatlon conspirators.
After the trial in the subsequent <le-
bates In the house General B. F. But
ler frequently charged thut the com
mission line! arrived at an unjust ver
dict and had convicted an Innocent
woman. In a memorable debate he
boldly proclaimed that if the contents
of a diary which had been found on
the dead body of J. Wilkes Booth were
ever made public It would disclose the
fact that It contained the proof of
Mrs. Surratt’s innocence, which proof
had been Infamously suppressed by the
commission. When General Bingham
made a movement as though he would
repel such an accusation, Butler dra
matically drew a memorandum book
from his breast pocket and held it
aloft, but did not utter a word. BJng-
ham naturally supposed that Butler
laid a copy of a diary such as he had
spoken of. As a matter of fuct the
book contained nothing hut blank
leaves. General Butler was just bluff
ing.
The diary was In possession of Sec
retary Stanton, hut I'nmldunt Johnson
finally demanded it. It was all Inter
esting book, but It threw no light upon
the great conspiracy. Johnson's pri
vate secretary was W. W. Warden,
who was tin 1 correspondent of the Bal
timore Suit, and besides was hi the em
ploy of the New York Tribune bureau
to supply It with .all the Information
I could. To him Andrew
Johnson Intimated that lie would not
he averse to the publication of Booth’s
diary and permitted him to make a
copy of It.
Warden took it after midnight to
James Itaukln Young, the Washington
correspondent of the Tribune, and the
next morning the Tribune and the Bal
timore Sun had a big beat. Sam
! Bowles of the Springfield Itepubllcnn
reproached Ills correspondent for fall
ing to get a copy.
"Well," snld the correspondent, “I am
■ not like Jim Young. I have a home to
go to, and don't have to prowl around
till dnyllght.” Nobody enjoyed this re
tort as much ns James Haukln Young.
