| Content Description | Stamped as pages 102-108. Pages 102-103 comprise the New York State Supreme Court order to issue a commission to A.B. Olin to examine Edwin M. Stanton. Noted, and signed, as "A copy" by John Wood, clerk, on page 103. A 18 March 1865 note written vertically along the left margin, signed by plaintiff's attorney William Wickham, acknowledges the copy as valid. Pages 104-105 comprise the five interrogatories to be administered to Stanton. Signed, possibly clerically, by Vail & Sedgwick as attorneys for Murray, and, in another hand, by Miller & [Zut?]hill as attorneys for Perkins. Pages 106-107, comprising the five cross-interrogatories, is an autograph document signed by William Wickham, plaintiff's (Benjamin's) attorney. The bottom includes a note written by (or clerically for) Miller & [Zut?]hill consenting to the cross-interrogatories. This is followed by signatures for all three sets of attorneys: Wickham, Vail & Sedgwick, and Miller & [Zut?]hill. Page 108 is docketing, which identifies this as "Supreme Court /John Benjamin /agst / Robert Murray / & Jacob H. Perkins / Commission / Vail & Sedgwick / Deft Murrays Attys /98 Broadway / New York." A second docket states "Filed April 10th 1865". Immediately below this, someone has written "(Lee surrendered yesterday)". |
