the house all day, but toward evening they
slipped their horses from the stable and rode
in the direction of Aliens Fresh.
THE MuRpERERs BEwILDEREp.
Below Bryantown runs certain deep and
slimy swamps along the belt OF these BOOM
and Harold picked up a negro named
Swan. who volunteered to show them the
wav for two dollars they gave him hive
more tn show them the route to Aliens
Fresh but really wished, as their actions
minated, to gam the house of one Sam:
Coke, notorious rebel, and probably well
advised of the plot. They reached the
house at midnight 1t is fine dwelling,
one of the best in Maryland And after
halIooing for some time Coke came down
to the door himself. AS soon as be opened
if and beheld who the strangers were, he
instantly blew out the candle he held III his
haud. and without word pulled them into
the house, the negro remaining In the yard
The Confederates remained In Coke mouse
until four o'clock in the morning, during
which time the negro saw them drink and
eat heartily; but when they re-appeared
they spoke in loud tone, SO that Swan could
hear them, against the hospitality Of Coke.
All this was meant to influence the darkey,
but their motives were as apparent as thei
words. He conducted them three miles fur

the way, and giving him five dollars more

back.
But when the negro in the dusk of morn

man doubtless who harbored the fugitives
from Sunday to Thursday, aided, possibly,
by such mel hbors as the Wilson's and AID

CROSSING THE RIVER.
At the point where Booth crossed the
Potomac the shores are very shallow, and
one must wade out some distance to where
boat will float. A white man came III
here with a canoe on Friday, and tied it by
stone anchor. Between seven and eight
o'clock it disappeared, and in the afternoon
some men at work on Methxy creek in Vlr
ginia, saw Booth and Harold land, tie the
boats rope to stone, and fling it ashore,
and strike at once across ploughed grounc
for King George Court House. Many folks
entertained them without doubt, bot we
positively hear of him next at Port Roya
Earrv, ou1 han of e rratt'S farm.
