IMPORTANT !
TIE ASSAlLAkT OF SECRETARY
SEWARD ARRESTEDM
HIS IDENTITY FULLY ESTABLISHED /!

About three clock this morning a man clad
II laboring clothes, covered with mud and
bearing pick-aXe on his shoulder, was ar
rested entering 81 house occupied by members
Of the Suratt family on IL street, between 9th
and 10th. ON removing the mud from his
person he turned out to be OF much more
genteel app earance than his disguise indicated.
He has since his arrest been confronted with
those at Secretary Stewards, who saw the Sec
retarY's assailant on Friday night and he was
a. once identified as the man.
1t is reported that his name is Paine, but the
full particulars have not yet transp1red.
Suratt, it is now believed, was not a direc.
actor IN the assassination, but seems to have
been in some way implicated in the plot.
Upon the prisoner being brought TO Gen.
Augur's headquarters this morning, MI Sew
ards coIored servant, who was az the door at
the time the assassin applied for admission,
vas sent for. The servant had no knowledge
OF the arrest OF the prisoner, but upon entering
the room in which the prisoner and a number
OF persons were, instantly exclaimed, "Why,
here is the man that cut Mr.. Seward"

THE ASSASSINATION PLOT!
APTURE OF ONE OF TIE ASSASSINS,
HE IS TAKEN IN THIS CITY.
q MYSTERIOUS RAP!!.
A SINGULAR SCENE.
HIS IDENTIFICATION COMPLETE {!
HE is SAFELY LODGED IN IRON
WALLS

Suspicion having been directed towards
house occupied by members OF the Suratt fam
lily, on II street, near 6th, Major Smith, OF
General Augurs staff, accompanied by Cap
tain and gentleman connected with the War
Department named Morgan. last night visited
the premises, and placing the lady inmates in
arrest, proceeded to the examination OF the
house and papers found in it.
While doing SO rap was heard at the door,
which was opened by Mr. Morgan, revealing
a medium. sized man, dressed in a gray coat
and vest, black cloth pantaloons, and fine
boots
Upon discovering the officers he manifested
considerable surprise, and remarked that ne
had got IN the wrong house. In reply to the
questions OF Major Smith, he gave c0ntradic-
tory answers, some Of which were quite alb
surd.
The reason he assigned for calling en- Mrs.
Suratt was that he had been engaged to dig
gutter fer her to-day, and called that night TO
learn where it was to be placed, as he should
commence work in the morning before Mrs. s.
would have arisen.
The man had pick with him, and claimed
to earn living by its use; but the delicate
appearance of his hands, and his inconsistent
statements convinced the officers that J had
some connection with the attempt to assasinate
Mr. Seward, and he was at once taken to Gen
Augur's headquarters
Upon reaching headq uarters ne was placed
in the midst of group Of persons, while an
officer was dispatched to the residence OF Sec
rotary Seward for the servants and attendants
who saw the assailant of the Secretary.
Upon the rstIrn of the officer the gas was
turned down, and as the servants entered the
room the gas was suddenly let Oh with 4 tull
blaze. The boy instantly pointed out the man
in the group as the one who entered the Secre-
tary's house. The servant at the same time
betrayed visible excitement, showing the deep
impression made upon him by the sight OF the
criminal The demeaIor of the prisoner al once
changed. his defiant manner giving place to
manifestations of fear, and his countenance
assuming q deathly pallor.
After some other investigation, there re-
naming little doubt as to the identity of the
man, he was placed IN safe keeping, within
iron walls. The prisoner IS Yariously known
as Paine, alias Thomas, alias several other
names.
