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.
