After receiving this
telegram,
Lincoln asked Pope to send him the complete records for all the cases. Lincoln commuted the sentences of all but
38 and they were executed on December 26, 1862.

David Faribault senior, a
Métis defendant who was educated among
whites and fluent in English, wrote that even he did not even
understand that he was on
trial for his life. One commission member, William Marshall,
frankly
admitted he could not give the men accused a fair trial. The
sixth amendment,
which guarantees the right to assistance of council, was specifically
denied.
