Thee were the instructions I received from
my friend in Washington, in whom l felt the
utmost reliance, and who 1 thought would
never deceive me. He also sent me copies OF
the National Istelitgencer, containing evidence
for the defense. L certainly felt greatly re-
neved, though not entirely satisfied. This news
reached me some time IN the latter part OF
June, just before the party of gentlemen of
whom have spoken arrived. They, too. as
sured me there was no cause for fear. What
else could do but accept these uuvsvering as
surances! Even had thought otherwise, 1
could not have taken any action resulting in
good.
just on the eve of my departure to join party
OF gentlemen on a hunting excursion while I
was waiting at the hotel for the tram, the pro
prletor handed me paper, and said:
READ THAT ABOUT THE CoNsrIRAToRs."
Little did the man know who L was, or how
closely that paragraph bore upon me or mine
That paper informed me that on a day which
was then present, and at an hour which had
then come and gone, the most hellish of deeds
was TO be enacted. Ii had been determined
upon and carried out, even before I had init
nation that there was any danger. IL would be
folly for me 10 attempt to describe my feelings
After gazing at the paper for some time I
dropped il on the floor, turning on NV heel. and
gong directly 10 the house where had been
stopping before. When I entered the room. I
found my friend sitting there. As soon as he
saw me,

but never uttered a word. | said, "You doubt

We all thought il for the best Charley" he
commenced 10 say, but l did rot stay 10 hear
more i went TO my room, remained there IN
III dark, and then signiiied nv intention to leave
the place Immediately. l felt reckless as 10
what should become OF me.

concluded TO seek an asylum in foreign lands
had nothing now TO bind me TO this country
save an only sister, and 1 knew she would
never want for kind friends or a good home
For myself, IL mattered little where went, 30
that could roam once more a free man. I
then went on venture, and now, ladies aud
gentlemen, goforth again on a venture. Gladly
would have remained hidden among the null
utude, but the stern necessities arising from
the blasting OF my earthly prospects have
forced me TO leave my solitude and to stand
again before the public gaze as the historian of
my own life. One mitigation TO its distasteful-
ness in this and my first attempt however, il

which time Surratt was quite a lion among the

Antonio PeIIesier Again In Trouble.

NJ is Arrested Wih LOCO Of Stolen Boafs IN HI,
PoSseSSiOn-A Bold and PlJusibl. Adrsatursr.
Antonio Pel!etier, who was arrested by a de-
tective in New York City on Saturday in the
act OF negotiating a sale of $1,000 worth Of
stolen bonds, had previously risen TO such dis
tiDctiOn as an adventurer a. TO make his appre-
benson upon criminal charge an event OF
more th9n ordinary interest. Pelletier will be
remembered by many citizens OF Washington
a. he figured here extensively during the war
claiming TO have a large interest in oil lands in
pennsylvania He lived in style al the hotels
ana was something OF ladies' man. He first
came into g. neral notice, however, in lsGS, by
purchasing an immense quantity OF oil lands IN
west virginia. 70 pay for which he was very
soon found to have no means. The important
airs ne assumed as he set about buying appar-
emily the entire State OF West virginia and the
sudden and igDominioUs COLLAPSE OF his vast
projects when II was found that he had no cap
ital 10 back them, was the subject OF amusing
comment where be was known. Pelletier
tuned up again In the West Indies az an al
legged pirate, having obtained command of a
vessel which the Hsytien government found
reason 10 suspect a. a priyateer. His yesseI
was seized and he was thrown into prison. He
was ultimately released, and, although a ma
claimed indemnity from the Waytien GOV.
eminent a. naturslized American citizen
be nled claim IN the State Department on this
@Teount ior ABOUT sioeo, the amount Of hi.
supported his claim in a pamphlet which he
circulated widely about Washington. He settled
on q lArm near tnls cry Tor awhile, but the
Quiet life OF farmer and the monotonous bust
ness Of prosecuting a hopeless claim coald no,
AFFORD sufficient field for a genius like his, and
he went north. 10 remains 70 be seen in what
way, II II all, he was connected With the mys-
ferrous robbery OF 900 worth OF United states
boncs from the Cuban Treasurer, at the ST.
George Hotel, in New York, last August, or how
he came into possession of them afterwards The
New YORK papers say that Pelletier on being
conducted to his cell at the Tombs somawh ar
lofuiy demanded that he should be provided
with earpeted apartments. and be otherwise,
treated with more than ordinary consideration
BE stoutly claimed that he was a secret agent in
the employ Of Secretary Boutwell, and, AT the
moment OF his arrest, was so bold, strenuous
and plausible in maintaining that he was not a
proper person 10 be taken into custody thai
