General Butler Testifies in Own Defense in Civil Suit
In New York on February 18 General Butler testified that he had no personal stake in the Lester case, citing congressional indemnity for officers. The defense contends the 1868 and 1866 acts shield officers from damages for war actions, while Lester asserts evidence of Confederate ties and schemes. The jury returned a verdict for Butler as the judge directed.
