The Flimsy Case Against Mary Surratt

[mike86002000]

I do not have Boynton's ruling as a cut and paste document. Roger (or anyone else), do you have the full ruling in a form that you could post it without having to retype it (or is it already posted elsewhere on the Forum)?

I found Boynton's ruling at: https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesma...957038.pdf .

I've also found Att Gen Speed's argument for the jurisdiction of the commission at the Surratt Society Site.
I'll be rereading them both, but Boynton's ruling has to do with denying a petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus. Milligan acknowledged that Congress had made that legal. Speed's argument refers to "The Rules Of War". Milligan says it would be a waste of time to ask what rules.
