the date it was the day before you mr boutwell offered a resolution about the case of jefferson davis in the house of reprepresentalive i who else was present at that con versation ? a mr george shea was the only third person present he was couusul for jef ferson davis t what was the nature of the conver sation eo for as mr speed took any part in it 1 a the object of mr shea was to as certain whether if an application were made lor bail the government would re sist it q what news on that subject did mr speed present on that occasion .' a none at all ; he wus very non-com mittal i could not make out anything from his conversation ; he did not know or did not wish to say why the views of the government were on the subject at all i came away with no impressjon uhout what be would do ; he s..id nothing that indicated whether he would or would not object q did yosi ever have any communica tion with or information from the presi dent in reference to the matter ? a none in the world q or with any oilier member of the cabinet . a no sir mr speed is tho only mem ber of the cabinet by whom i remember having heard the name of jeff davis men tioned q at the time of the release of davis on

previbns i iformation as tn what tbe policy of the government would be in reference to the releasing of mr da vis ? ■a 1 hud none ; i had no information until we came into court as to what the government would do i do not know whether the government was going to re sist the application for hail or not by mr eldiidge : t at whoso sugges tion or solicitation did you become bail for jefferson

you proposed to go bail for mr davis ap lv to you not to do so or write to you about it i a will sir there was a hubbub about it at the time i was here and senator wade and senator chandler talked with me about it i think senate cresswell of maryland was also present i do not recollect any other person q oil what ground did they advise you not to go bail for jefferson davis ? a there was a conversation of half an hour between us on the subject i cannot stnto definitely what particular reasons tbey urged tbey thought it would be bud policy and that it would have a bad influence q thnt it would have a bad effect on the republican party 1 a i believe so that was tho impress ion i had q were there any other persons en deavoring to prevent your going bail for jefferson dftv'ls ? a 1 do not recollect ; there may have been one or two personal friends doing so , although it was not generally known that 1 intended to go bail q did they put their objections ou par ty grounds alone ? a

to bail jefferson davis he having j been imprisoned so long ? a no sir in the first place i was de j sirous to bring on the trial ; llie first year i thought we could compel the govern i incut to bring the prisonor to trial by a ' writ of habeas corpus ; finally i thought the time for a trial to any good purpose had passed {}. did you go bail for jefferson davis with a view of never having him tried ? a no ; i wished to have him tried if j the government should ever wish to try | him y . i understand you as saying that you thought tho time for trying him to any ] good purpose had passed away f a that was my judgment (.}. is that your opinion now a yes so far as i know the facts ; if i he had anything to do with assassinating president lincoln or poisoning or btarv ing prisoners i wish him to bo tried ; i do j not know uuy facts that justify either i charge q you know of no facts on the subject i of his connection with the assassination of president lincoln ? a no sir none that
