Trial By Military Commission First Mentioned

[John Fazio]

General George McClellan

John, are you accepting of the idea that General McClellan was part of the plot to kill President Lincoln? Do you find the evidence convincing?

Roger:

No; not at all. The evidence is very weak. From it we can derive only suspicion. We cannot prosecute anyone on the basis of suspicion. We should not even think of anyone as guilty of anything on the basis of suspicion.
