Porter case in Senate arouses bitter clash over legality
The Senate debates Logan’s charge that the Schofield board acted without lawful authority in Porter's court martial review. Logan accuses the board of misreading records, cites Grant and McPherson testimony, and questions Lincoln's alleged repentance as unsupported. The session features sharp exchanges and ends with adjournment.
