From him it was Asceriained that Booth and
Harold were at the house of John and VIII

Booth limped somewhat, and walked on
crufches about the place, complaining of his
ankle. He and Harold regularly took their
meals at the house, aud Booth kept up ap
pea RANGES well.
Ono day at the dinner table the converse
ton turned tn the assassination Of the Pres

ton in the severest terms. say ing that thtr
was no punishment severe enough for the
perpetrator. Al another time some one said
in his presence that rewards amounting
to TWO hundred thousand dollars had been
offered for Booth, and that he would like to
catch him, when Booth replied, "Yes, it
weald be good hand, but the amount will
doubtless be increased TO Eve hund ed thous
and dollars."

was otherwise nat disguised much. Booths
moustache had been cut off apparently with
scissors, and his beard allowed to grow,
changing his appearance considerably. His
hair had been Gu, some wi shorter than be

Booths body, which we have before de-
scribed, vas at once laid out on bench and
