greater and more necessary than ever, of

strain such removals for the future, but it

for having taken such action.

Browning attended the meeting to day.

Mrs. SURRATT.-The New York
Times says: There are thousands of
people who believe that Mrs. Surratt
was wholly innocent Of the crime for
which she was hung-that she was
not in any sense party to it, or
of the intention of Booth
and his confederates to assassinate
President Lincoln. Baker, who
acted as head detective for the War
during the war, has re-
Gently published statement that
Mrs Surratt confessed to him that
she was guilty, but that she yielded
to the plan of assassination only
after a good deal of urging by Booth.
This statement commands very little
credence from the very obvious con-
sideration that if any such confess
sion had been made, Baker would
have been summoned as witness
on the trial. 1t should also be re-

tempted to assassinate Mr.. Seward,
and who knew all about the. CON
spiracy in which he was so promi-
