When you come to think of it, a lot of nonentities have got credit for able state papers, but it takes humanity to com- mute a sentence of death and Lincoln has commuted thousands. The only one he didn't and couldn't commute was one im- posed by our friend, Ward Hill Lamon.
"Lamon, then Marshal of the District of Columbia, had seen Lincoln safely home and then made his usual rounds of the White House grounds. All seemed well, no cause for suspicion. Ward told me, and he was about to retire, whe...n he thought he saw some movement amid a clump of green foliage.
It looked as if a body was rising from the ground.
" 'I reached the spot by three leaps, faced a dark figure and, without ado, dealt him a blow square between the eyes, knocking him down, ' said the Marshal.
"Well," continued Mark, "you know Lamon as he looks now, still a command- H7 ing figure, though worried and weakened by- diabetes. In the early sixties he was a giant, a John L. SuUivan as a hitter. That blow of his killed the stranger in the White House grounds and when the body was carried to the Secret Service offices and searched, they found it to be that of a South- ern gentleman of distinguished family.
