man that shot Lincoln until they were tod thtt

lie did not, however. 10 me deny OF adlnll that
lac had done the deed: but stated that no one
could ;ruthfully say, Of their own khoWledSe,
that il was him.
He declares that Mrs. Suratt was innocent,
and wonders how the man that was killed III
the barn looked. He learned from the papers
that he had heavy heard, and had sheared or
cut il in such IN awkward manner that his
Booth 81 most intimate friends would not re-
cogniZe him a Booth. lie thinks not. lie be-
licyed innocent or guilty. that il found he
would have been sacrificed TO their mad fury,
and concluded 10 leave, which he did. And rs
there can now be no harm i'll telling, Will

He crossed the river IL George town; stopped
the next udN near dllliA souI AiphS'' WV
next night he was taken near Mddlcburg
&c, and from there near Gum Springs, where
he remained two days: and after more than
three weeks traVelling-moStly by night, ana
suffering severely-he reached Florida, where
he was detained for some time, until Harris,
who was not mentioned in the affair, ana who
could not appear publicly, procured BOAT,
which they venturrd TO sea in, and made land
safe Booth was immediately taken sick, and
has been the most of the time since.
In October he much better, so mllcn 80
that he took some exercise i'll the open air, but
relapsed, and was confined to his room until
about four weeks ago. His constitution, in
my Judgment, is ruined, and don believe he
will live long. He was preparing for n change
of climate, and if no relapse has taken place
is probably now III another country, where he
will meet with more Of his own people, or peo-
pie from the same country.
