The World in its account Of the execu-
tion says that Atzerott made the following
statement yesterday morning:
He took 3 room st the KTkwoOd House
on Thursdsy, in order to get q pass from
the Vice President to 20 to Richmond.
Booth was to lease the Richmond thestre
and the President was 70 be invited to at.
tend it while visiting Richmond. Harold
brought the pistol and knife to the room
about half psst three o'clock on Friday,
he AizsrOtt] said he would not have any
thing to do wi b the murder of johnson.
When Booth said that Harold had more
courage than Atzerott, and he wanted At
zerOtt to be with Harold to urge him to
doit.
There was q meeting st 8 restaurant
about the middle of March, at which John
Surrstt, OLaughlin, Booth, Arnold,
Payne, Harold and himself were present,
when plan to capture the President was
discussed. They had heard that the Pre-
sident was TO visit camp and thoy pro-

where the coach was TO be left and fresh
horses were TO be got, snd the party would
proceed to the river to take boat.
Harold got q buggy ready in anticipation
that Mr.. Lincoln would be captured, and be
was to go with the party TO the river.
Slavery had put him on the side of the
South. He has heard it preached in
church that the curse of God was upon the
slsves, for which reason they were turns1
black. He always hated the nigger and
felt they should be enslaved. He hsd
not received any money from b 9th, al
though he had been promised that if they
were successful they should never want;
that they should be honOred throughoU.:
the South and that they could secure an
exchange of prisoners and the recognition
of tha Oonfederaev.

an officer of respectsbility, that the pris-

Richmond were suffering severely for want

it was manifest to him that systematic
scheme was on foot to put them to stsrvs-

and heartless wretch, had addressed q COM
municstion to Mr.. Seddon, proposing
to withhold meat altogether from the mill,

document containing this recommendation.
He then moved for q committee of investi-
CATION in the rebel House of Representa-

was scrimoniOusly censured by several
menb bers for introducing the subject into
the House. He perseYered, however, and

finding the document above referred to,
signed by Northrup and endorsed by Sed-
don, the latter adding that the time hsd
come for retaliation upon the prisoners Of

was waiting for Booth to arrange hi

on him and left his pistol and coat in the
room, and told him that Booth wished fC

Atzerott that he must kill johnson. At

Booth wanted to see him. Atzorolt did not
return to the KirkWood House that night.
Booth told AtIerott that surratt was in the
city. He did not see Booth after leaving
him at the HerndOn House and roamed
shout the streets nearly all night and first
heard of the murder about half past nine.
,Atzerott had nothing TO say at any ofthe
former meetings. he knew nothing about
the rope found with spangler; he believed
Spangler innocent.
Booth when applied to for money would
remark that he had money in New York,
and would get some.
At one time in spring or late in winter
Mrs. Slater, Mrs. surratt, John Surratt,
and Major Barron, formerly of the rebel
army, left Washington to get her horses
from Howard. Mrs. surratt stoppid at Sur
rattsVille, and the others went on to the
Potomac. Msjor Barron returned. He did
not think Barron had anything to do with
the conspiracy.
One of Booths plans to obtain entrance
to Secretary Stewards house was an inven-
tioD, which, if successful, would have in
volved others in his foul acts. He had
made the acquaintance of woman of strong
Southern feelings, living not very far from
Secretary Stewards house, who was to make

he would learn something Of the location

had sent provisions and liquor to DR.. Mudd's
house for the supply of the party on their

0'Lsughlin has made no confession as
far IS is publicly known, but has confessed
to the original conspiracy. He denied any
of the murder of the President,
or the attempt on Secretary Stewards life.
There is no doubt but that he knew much
