THE WORLD ON THE CONSPIRACY.
The Worlds account of the conspiracy
to murder the President and officers of the
cabinet says; There is no doubt but that
Booth intended to kidnap the President
before the idea Of numbering him was con-
csived. Proof of this fact has been found
in his sealed letter. Within the city limits
is house belonging to Mrs. Green, mined
and furnished with underground apart
ments, furnished with manacles and all &C
cessories to private Imprisonment. Here
the President and IS many as could be
gagged and conveyed away, were TO be
concealed, in the event of failure, to
run them into the Confederscy. Owing to
his failure to group around him as many
men as he desired, Booth abandoned the
project of kidnapping The house was
discovered last week, ready to be blown up
at moments notice.
