Booths Errand b OF Arrested In Brooklyn

Booths Errand b OF Arrested In rookIyn-
Harold's Antecedents in the City Of
The details of the diabolical tragedy, IN which
the notorious Booth played the leading part,
begin to leak out through various channels.
Inc extensive qualifications Of the plot when
fully brought to light will astonish the COM
munity. That Booth was alone in the helIish
conspiracy, has already been ascertained, but
the citizens of Brooklyn will feel astonished
when they learn that Harold. the companion
OF Booths flight, has resided in the City of
Churches for nearly two years.
A person known as the "Indian Doctor" who
came to Brooklyn about two years ago, made
the acquaintance Of Harold, at Washington, ON
his way to this city, and as the latter had some
experience in the compromising OF drugs, the
doctor employed him to act as his assistant
They established an office In Fulton street,
Brooklyn, and by the fantastic costumes in
which they were in the habit of appearing in
the streets, accompanied by q very fine speci-
men Of an Italian greyhound, they for time
made quite sensation. About six months
teriously as they came, and nothing was heard
Of them until two days since.
1t appears that Booth had in his employ lad
OF about Is years, who disappeared from Wash
ington about the time Of the assassination of
the late President, and one of the detectives
was Immediately put on his track. He traced
him to Brooklyn and succeeded on Tuesday
evening last in arresting him in Court street,
opposite Montague Hall. The officer took his
prisoner to the 41st Precinct Station House, and
lodged him there for safe keeping, while he
proceeded to Washington for Instructions.
During the absence Of the detective, the boy
gave the above facts, to one of the officers of
that precinct. The boy also states that the
'doctor'' is now in New Orleans, but cannot
state for certain, whether he was connected
with Booth in the assassination plot. ALI that
he can say on this point is, that Booth and this
doctor were on very intimate terms; and the
fact of his mysterious disappearance, together
with his old assistant, Harold being found in
company with Booth, Is looked upon as point
ing strongly to his completely in the infamous
affair.-N. !. Express.
