Lamon Rivalry With Stanton Over Washington Jail
Ben Perley Poore recounts how Ward H Lamon Lincoln's trusted marshal confronted Secretary Stanton over the jail in Washington. Lamon retook the jail with his own hands, disarming guards and locking them in. Lincoln supported him as a royal row unfolded, and a sop by Father Bates ended the siege. Stanton then tried to seize Lamon's house. Lamon warned he would kill him, and Lincoln urged patience.
