THE sURRATr TRIAL.

WASHINGTON, July 8. f.
The Surratt trirl was resumed to-day. The
interest seems to be increasing, and the court
was again well filled with spectators.
Theodore Benjamin Rhodes was recalled and
questioned by Mr.. Bradley, and explained his
position in the theatre and what took place
there that afternoon before the assassination,
but no new facts were developed.
John !. Ford was called as the first witness
for the defence. Was proprietor of the Ma
tional theatre in 1865; diagrams of the theatre
were exhibited and recognized; during the day
the front doors of the theatre were kept omen
to give access to the ticket office, but an infiex
ibie rule was to keep the doors leading from
the vestlbule to the theatre closed the wit
ness described the situation and SURROUNDINGS
Of the Presidents box; know John Wilkes
Booth from infancy; his hands were quite
large, SO much so as to excite remark; he had
not small, delicate hands, A silly letter found
by Mrs. Hudspeth was here exhibited. =
Am quite familiar with Booths hand writing
do not think it possible for Booth have written
this letter. ELtl -it..l
Mr.. Ford's testimony was interrupted for the
purpose of recalling Susan Ann Jackson for
the purpose of her further cross-examination
Witness testified that the morning after the
assassination two gentlemen came there / ut
did not see them; was in bed when the men
came into my room and covered UP my head
and did not see them.
Mr.. Bradley pointed to detective McDevitt
ANU sdlu, look AROUND ana see II YOU did not
see that gentleman there? A. No, sir, never
saw that man there; did not hear them talk
about John Surratt, and 1 did not hear any one
enquire for John Surratt; do not know u col
ored woman named Roebel or one named Eliza
Hawkins; never told any one that John Sur
raft had not been at home for two weeks.
Ford was then recalled and further exanin-
ed by Mr.. Merrick. Witness explained the
relative positions of the front of the theatre
tde platform and side entrance leading to the
stage; find no error in this plan, and as far
as know 1t is correct; the clock is on the wall
g or 8 feet high, between the doors, to see the
clock it would be necessary to go in the door
near the ticket Office entrance; the door was
not in the centre Of the building; the southern
end of the platform is not opposite the door Of
entrance and person sitting upon the end
would have to look diagonally towards the en-.
trance. NJ
Henry Clay Ford sworn. Was treasurer of
the theatre, and with his brother John II. Ford
had the management of the theatre; in the
absence of j. f. Ford prepared the Presidents
box myself; commenced between 2 and o.
clock; the curtain was up at that time, and
had been up all day; no stranger there while I
was preparing the box; at that time Edward
Spangler was on the stage fixing the scene.

cut off from the church. Orson Hyde was
chosen President of the Twelve Apostles last
April Pratt is one of the Twelve, and Lyman
had been one of the Apostles also. Young

Pratt. He denounced the latter as an unbe-
