The Assassion Booths Body.

1t was only after some patient in
quiry that could ascertain the facts,
which are interesting and, as far as I
know, are yet unpublished. Booth
the murderer of Abraham Lincoln,
died. as will be remembered, in barn
in Maryland, from a wound received
from the musket of Boston Corbett.
The body was brought to Washington,
and, after having been identified by
the court martial before which his
fellow conspirators were tried, WAS
dissected by the surgeon general Of
the army. The brain and heart and
some parts of the body we're preserved
in alcC -ol and are now on exhibition
in the medical museum of the sur
geon generals office. The building in
which the assassination occurred Wa
Ford's theater The government con-
fi>ca'ed it. but afterward Ford was
paid in full value, and it has since
been used as the headquarters of tho
medical corps of the army. The
DIstlE anu Mart VI DOptu siIt IN
jars standing in case thai
Is very near the actual
scene Of the assassination.
After the surgeons had done with
Booths body it was buried in grave
in the arsenal grounds. Only half .
dozen persons knew the exact spot,
which was unmarked In 1867 Ed
win Booth, the actor, sent Mr.. Weav-
err, the sexton of Christ church, Bal
timore. to Washington, with the re-
quest that the remains of his brother
might be taken up and removed to
the family burial place. After some
delay the request was granted BY
President johnson, who was finally
appealed to, and Mr.. Weaver took
the body to the cemetery in Balti-
more and buried it beside the elder
Booth and others of the family. The
removal was conducted with great
secrecy, and was concealed from
Secretary Stanton, who had refused -
give his consent
