WILKES BOOTH.
AbsUrdity of some OF n Stories
Concerning ais Remains.
Baltimore Gazette.l

ADbUE0AAy VI SONIC OF the blOFle8
Concerning ais Remains.
Baltimore Gazette.l
A number of absurd stories are
going the rounds of the press as to
the disposition of the remains of j.
Wilkes Booth. The latest is by
Captain Oliver P. Leslie, of Pitts
burg, who states that the body was
sunk in a lake seven miles below
Alexandria, Va. The incontro-
vertible facts are as follows: The
remains were ordered to be deliv-
cred to the friends of Booth by
President Andrew johnson. John
H. Weaver, the undertaken of the
city, was sent to Washington by
his family to bring them here for
interment. A box was taken up
from the Arsenal building and de-
liyered to him. 1t was brought by
him to Baltimore and was exam
jned by him and a reporter of the
Gazette at his room on West Fay,
cite street, near Holiday, They
found in it a skeleton wrapped in
an old army blanket. When the
blanket was taken off the skele-
ton was covered with a powder
having the appearance of ~soapstone,
and on being rubbed between the
fingers it disappeared just as soap
stone will do. On the right foot
was an army shoe, cut open at the
top its entire length, as if to accom-
modate a swollen foot. On the
other was a large cavalry boot. The
reporter of the Gazette examined
the bones in and above the shoe,
and for some time could find no in
jury. Believing the remains to be
those of Booth the reporter made
a persistent examination, and at
last discovered The leg was fractured
clean through just above the ankle.
The fracture was clearly marked,
and the portion below the fracture
being lifted out of the ends of the
box the ends of the bones were of a
pure whiteness, leaving no doubt as
to the fact that Booth in leaping
from the box had fractured his right
leg and not Sprained it. Still the
identity of the remains were not
satisfactorily established, especially
as there was no portion Of
the spinal vertebr@ missing
and no marks of any bullet
upon them. A brother of Booths
was sent for, who was told by Mr..
Weaver of the doubts as to the
identity of his remains, and Mr..
Weaver requested him to think of
some peculiarly, if any existed, in
the structure Of his brother that
would forever remove any doubt.
After thinking for a brief while the
brother sad all that he could re-
member was that his brother had
his tooth plugged with gold in a
peculiar manner. He described the
location Of the tooth, and drew
with a pencil the shape of the plug,
which was of unusual size. The
teeth were taken out, ana the tooth
was found plugged just as described
by the brother, and forever setting
at rest any question of the identity
of the remains. The remains were
buried in Greenmount Cemetery,
in the same lot with his grand
father, father, and other children
Of the family.
