THE SURRATT CASE WITNRssEs-The Chas
Setty Letter.-Mrs. DIR. Benson formerly Mrs
Mary Hudspeth) has arrived in this city from
Canada TO testify In the Surratt case She
will be remembered as the witness who testi-
fed on the assassination trial in regard to
finding letter in a New York street car signed
s'Charles Selby." The letter was addressed
% Dear Louis" and goes On to say: ,ss The time
has at last come that we have all so wished
for, and upon you everything depends. As it
was decided before you left, we were to cast
los. Accordingly we did so, and you are to
be the Charlotte Corday of the nineteenth CEN
tury. When you remember the fearful, solemn
VOW that was taken by us you, will feel there
Is no draw back. Abe must die and nosy You
can choose your weapons. The cup, the knife.
the bullet The cup Jailed US once. and might
again, &c" .. ~ 4a- IA
Mrs. Hudspeth testifies to finding this letter
in November, 1861 and describes the person
who dropped it IN the street cars as young
man wearing false whiskers, and whose deli
cate hands indicated that he lead a life of
leisure. Mrs. Hudspeth took the letter to
General Scott, and it was forwarded, through
General Dix, to President Lincoln, W ho seemed
to attach little importance to it, and threw it in
his desk. 1t is probable that Government will
bring forward this testimony to show that the
assassination OF Mr.. Lincoln had long been
premedtated, and was net the result of a sud :
den change of purpose by Booth on the yery
day that 1t took place. :
