( The fsIov.as Is also from the q ricIa:
We Ie4rf that John T. Ford, E.. shortly after
his arrival from Fortress Monroet morning, was
arrested, aud is now in custody. We learn that
he is rrobsbly arrested only as q witness. on &C.
count of admissions that were MAJ 10 him Oh the
beat by Sam Arnold who was lbrlrlt up frou,
Norfolk under arrest, on the char OF colusion
With Booth. He admitted 10 Mr.. lord. we leatD,
mat he knew Of Booths cOnspiraC b1. that the
ORIGINAL plan was to abduet the Pr lent and carry
him 70 Richmond.
M. Ford was unfortunate in hav,g such terri:
lie tragedy occur in his theatre, an his arrest We
are assured IS merely as wi.uess. Or ~. Ford's
LOYALTY thegs IS no doubt, and ind! few men "a
tho State have given mere liberali;,o the suppor.
of the cause OF the Onion than he as. The bene-
f.s he gave in this city and ashn Ito the Ssn-
isary and Christian Commission AZ is.ded gc,-
