for the aid of single confederate that he
did offer this for the cooperation Of New
FORK actor named Chester, who, Fortunate
| " for himself, refused the bride; that San
ders, and the gang whc acted with him in
the Provinces were privy to the plot; and

the cognizance Of Confederate officials.

was opened near Swift Kun Gap, Gin the
Shenandoah Valley, shortly after the rebel
defeat at Gettysburg IN 1863. Booth first
offered his suggestion in rebel camp; and
Beall, who was hung the other day, was the
first volunteer for what was to be thereafter
known as the detached service Shortly
