After President Lincoln's assassination, however, President Johnson approved the sentence and May 19, 1865, was designated as the date of execution. The sentence of one of the prisoners, Horsey, was, however, commuted to imprisonment for life, and Milligan and Bowles were reprieved until the 2d of June. Just before this day, through the influence of Governor Morton, the sentences were commuted to imprisonment for life. Meanwhile, Colonel Milligan had appealed to the Supreme Court of the United States, which took up the case and finally decided April 3, 1866, that a military commission in a

Hovey, commanding the military district of Indiana; on Oct. 21 brought before a military commission convened at Indianapolis by General Hovey, tried on certain charges and specifications, found guilty, and sentenced to be hanged, Friday, May 19, 1865. The proceedings of the military commission closed in January, 1865. When the circuit court of the United States met at Indianapolis in January, 1865, the grand jury did not indict Milligan, who then petitioned the court to be brought before it and tried by jury or released. With the petition was filed the order appointing the commission, the charges, finding of the commission, with the order from the War Department reciting that the sentence was approved by the President, and directing that the sentence be carried out without delay. The judges differed on three questions:

reedmen's societies. There had already been some effort among them to consolidate. I at once favored a plan for a general union of forces, which would evidently make them both more effective and more economical in administration. Mr. Abbott, agreeing with this view, promised to do all in his power to bring about such union. As he was greatly interested in the work of education among the freedmen, I consulted him with reference to the first important circular issued from headquarters May 19, 1865. It announced well-defined principles of action. Mr. Abbott's aid and advice have ever since been gratefully remembered. The following words met his special approval: I invite, therefore, the continuance and cooperation of such societies. I trust they will be generously supported by the people, and I request them to send me their names, list of their principal officers, and a brief statement of their present work. . . .
