After some further colloquy OF this sort,

Harold thrust out his hands, and was pull
led from the door, led and plucod in The
charge Of a guard. Col. Couger was then
/ satisfied that further parloy with Booth
was vain, and proceeding to the other side
/ OF the barn he pulled out a wisp Of hay
and lighted il. Within few momeuts the
| blazing hay lighted up the inside Of the
| barn. Booth was discovered leaning on

ger and Lieut.. Baker at once entered the
/ barn, and Brought Booth out After iden-
uscatou, by order Of the War Department.
tine body was then privately inferred IN the
clothing which was upon it.
The Herald's spondeul says the par
ley with Booth lasted a long while, that
Booth told Lt. Dougherty he hsd a Guard
drawn around him, and he could shoot him
if be chose. That Booth could see those
outside plainly, while they could not SEQ
him inside. When the tire was lighted
Booth could be seen. and then It. Dough
erty ordered sergeant Cor5etttO FIRE, which
he did through one Of the crevices. Booth
was armed with two six barreled and one
seven barrsled revolver. When the party
started to return with the body Harold re-
his neck and the other end Of il 70 the SAD p
die OF one Of the cavalry men. As soon Sc
q horse could be procured be was mounted.
The World's correspondent says 60 .s

brought the horses into the alley.
