WAR DEPARTMENT,
April 15,
1865 — 1 a.m.
JOHN H. KENNEDY,
Chief of Police, New York:
Send here immediately three or four of your best detectives
to investigate the facts as to the assassination of the President and Secretary
Seward. They are still alive, but the President's case is hopeless, and that of
Mr. Seward nearly the same.
EDWIN M. STANTON,
Secretary of War.
