WASHINGTON, April l5--l A. NJ.
To Mayor Gen. Dir
The President, while attending Ford's
Theatre last night, was shot and MORALLY
wounded by an assassin, who suddenly
entered the box and approached behind
the President. The assassin then lcaped
upon the stage brauiishing a large
knife, and made his escape in the rear
Of the theatre. The pistol ball entered
the back of the Presidents head and
penetrated nearly through the head.
The wound is mortal. The President
has been insensbie ever since it was in
fliCted, and is now dying.
At the same hour an assassin, wheth-
er the same or not, entered Mr. Seward 5
apartments aud under the pretence OF
having a prescription, was shown to the
Secretary's chamber. The assassin i'm
mediately rushed on the bed and in.
flicted two or three stabs on the throat
and two on the face. 1t is hoped the
wounds may not be mortal, my appre
tensions are that they will prove fatal
The nurse alarmed Mr.. F. W. Seward
who was in an adjoining room, and has.
tened to the door of his fathers room
where he met the assassin, who inflicted
upon him one or more dangerous stabs
The recovery of Frederick W. Seward is
doubtful 1t is not probable that the
President will live through the night
Gen Grant and lady were advertised tc
be at the theatre this evening, but he
started for Burlington at six o'clock thi,
evening.
