Tar LINCOLN ASSASSINATION NEW DIX
yELopMrSrz The Congressional Com
mittee, it is alleged, has obtained some
important evidence in relation to the
assassination OF President Lincoln. A
servant Of the Russian Minister, in Ju-
ly, 1862, has testified during the exam
nation Of w W. Corcorans claim he
fore the Senate Committee, that ut n
dinner party given at the Russian Lee
CATION. Senator Bayard said lac would
give $4,000 to any one who would as
sassinate Mr. Lincoln. and Mr.. Corro-
ran added that he would give ten times
that sum.
The committee summoned old had
Dohuer, who was then butler to the
Russian Minister. to corroborate the
testimt ny Of the witness. But DohDer
has thus far refused to testify, claiming
diplomatic privileges on the ground
that he was then employed at the For
eiga Legation. He has been excused
until Wednesday, when lie will have to
testify or be bropght before the Senate
for contempt.
