Francis Lieber. John J. Clifford. Richard Henry Dana. Sheer idiocy. Richard Henry Dana doubted the ability to obtain a guilty verdict from a Virginia jury. He never said that Davis shouldn't be charged with treason. And Al Benson's column notwithstanding I haven't seen any sources for quotes from Clifford or Lieber.
