wAsHISeToN, June 21.-In Surratt's
trial Judge Fisher decided that the
Court would follow the common prac-
tice as to the matter of recalling wit
nesses. viz: that a witness should consid.
er himself discharged AFTER examina-
ton unless told to remain.
Mr, Stabler recalled-Testified, saw
Booth, AtZerott and Harold convers.
ing with Surratt at my stablei had
conversation with AtZerott about the
trip of Surratt; he showed me the con.
clusion of a letter from Surratt, and
Atzerott said he had a letter from Sur
raft and he would not let me see 1t; all
that read was the concluding para
graph; Atzerott said the letter was
dated in Richmond. Surratt I'M
derstood the detectives were after
him and was making his way North as
fast as he COULD that was in the early
part of April, 1855; the conversation
between us commenced by Atzerott
calling me out on the pavement and
telling me about the letter. asked At
Zerott to let me see the letter, 1 I'M
derstood that Surratt was making his
way North nom Richmond; the only
difficulty that was in way that the de-
Atzerott to say Government detectives;
when these men came to the stables
they would go to the back part and en-
gage in conversation together in q
low tone; at least could not hear what
they said, for they were at least 40 feet
from me.
James w. Humphrey, John: Fletcher
and John ]. Jaffry, testified to various
matters related in former trial.
After recess, Miss Honora Fitzpatrick,
who lived at Mrs. Surratt's, testified
that Surratt was interested with Payne,
Booth, Atzerott and the other conspira-
tors, and they had Interviews at Mrs.
ffsh III
George. F. Chaplin examined to cor
roborate Blinn and HobRrts state
ments, and testified to seeing the hand
kerchief marked ]. ii. Surratt, found
by Blinn on Wednesday after the as
sassination. Witness got the handker-
chief from Blinn and gave 1t to one OF
Bakers detectives named Grinnen-
Benz. w. VanderpoOl, of New York,
testified; was in Washington April 18th;
saw Booth on that day and spoke to
him; saw him three times on that
day; saw Booth first at Wizards; afler-
wards on Pennsylvania avenue, be-
tween 10th and 18th or 18th and 18th
streets. The prisoner was called to
stand up.
Questionable you see the prisoner
that day.? Answer-I saw him at the
place last mentioned; he was with
Wilkes Booth and two or three others;
they were sitting around a table with
Rld6beo Ou IT. hho OcGh " tue phyuldh
ter's, and coming down heard music at
the place referred to and went In; Booth
was at a table-he and his companions
were talking; 1 saw them distinctly, as
was within few feet OF them; cam
not be mistaken about this.
Chaplin examined .by Bradley-I did
not speak to Booth when 1 saw him in
this place; saw Booth and his COM
panions were engaged in conversation;
I was only attracted there by music; 1
never saw Surratt before or since, until
now; l took a good look at him this
morning, and recognize him as the same
man saw with Booth; 1 am as conf
dent that / saw Surratt, as that see
you now; this was some time in the af-
ternoon, and might have been after
three o'clock; 1 cannot remember how
they were dressed; think Booth and
Surratt had their hats of don't think
Surratt then wore goatee: IL he did, 1t
was a very light one; don't remember
the Hall, but think It was Hall called
Metropolitan Hall.
Witness was asked why he did not
communicate these facts before, and
gave as reason that he was known, he
was intimate with Booth and he was
jeered by his brother officers and he
then had been to his regiment. Wit
ness never made this statement TO
any one until now; was never sum-
moned as witness in this case, but
having seen that Surratts trial was in
progress, came to see If Surratt was one
Of the men he saw with Booth, and re-
cORniZed him as one of the party. L
then went to Mr.. Carrington's office
and was placed on the stand as wit
ness.
By Mr.. PIerpoint-witness has great
faculty OF recollecting faces he has once
seen, and has been subjected to test OF
the matter.
Question by Mr.. Merrick-wouldyo you
recognize the face of the woman who
was dHncinRF
Answer-Did not pay much attention
to the face, my attention was directed
to her 'Iegs." Laughter.l
