Life, Crime and Capture of John Wilkes Booth

[Gene C]

This weeks chapter is "The Martyr", less than 5 pages.

A brief mention of General Charles Stone, p59
"Here once came Mr, Stanton, saying in his hard and positive way :
"Mr. Lincoln, I have found it expedient to disgrace and arrest General
Stone.
Stanton," said Mr. Lincoln, with an emotion of pain,
" when you considered it necessary to imprison General Stone, I am glad you did not consult me about it."
And for lack of such consultation. General Stone, I learn, now lies a
maniac in the asylum. The groundless pretext, upon which he suffered the
reputation of treason, issued from the Department of War—not from this office."

No mention of him being a maniac in an asylum. Wonder where that came from?
