THR SuRRArr CAsE.--The Washing.
ton correspondent of the Baltimore Ga
sette, says:
After strenuous efforts upon the part
Of the Government to secure another
indictment against John II. Surratt,
the project seems to be abandoned as
hopeless. A number Of the old witness
ses have been brought before the Grand
Jury, but they refused to repeat the
testimony given BY them upon the for
mer trial. Susan Ann Jackson, colored
who swore that Surrstt was 10 this city
on the night Of the assassination aud
that she served him with supper at his
mothers residence, on being brought
before the Grand Jury a few days since,
denied any and all knowledge Of Sar.
rats whereabouts on that evening".
The District Attorney is said to have
been taken greatly BY surprise at the
conduct Of his witnesses, none Of whom
are willing TO stand up to the testimony
given at the last trial. Thus will the
trial end 10 miserable failure. 1t is
reported that Surratt has in course of
preparation for the press a complete
history Of his wanderings during his
efforts TO avoid the Government detec
tives and escape arrest, aud that he will
divulge everything hs knows bearing
IN any way upon the parties concerned
in the assassination Of President Lin
coin.
