To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Judge Advocate, and who thought they had all the facts which could throw light upon the case, but before whom all the facts were not put, did any wrong whatever — I do not mean to say they judged wrougly under the lights they had. But the point I make, and the point which shall stand made before this country, is that all the testimony possible to throw light on that case was not before that tribunal ; for if we had only the advantage of all the tes- timony, Mr. Speaker, we might then have been ...able, with the testimony of witnesses fresh in mind, to find who, indeed, were all the accomplices of Booth ; to find who it was that cliauged Booth's purpose from capture to assassination ; who it was that could profit by assassination who could not profit by capture and abduction of the Presi- dent ; who it was expected by Booth would succeed to Lincoln if the knife made a vacancy, which we cannot do now but might have done if we could ascertain what was in that book. Although in some aspects of the case it might not have been legal evi- dence, yet in all aspects it is moral evidence, carrying conviction to the moral sense.
