did not interfere. The reason IL not hard TO
ind. Capt Webster never existed.
In 1861 when Charley Campbell, OF Cham

was afterward enlarged into the artillery OF
the Ia. Reserves there came with him TO Har-
risburg tall, athletic fellow, Of whom il was
reported that he had been pardoned out of tho
penitentiary on condition of enlisting IN the

Camp Curtin no cud Of trouble. lie could not
be kept IN camp, and was continually in hot

that Charley Campbell kicked him out Of tho
battery. After the first Bull Run we Mi went
down 10 Washington, and who should turn up
one day IN our camp but the same fellow, dressed
in Colonel's uniform. At this time don't
think his name was Webster. If my recollec.

The Flag that Trlpped Up Booth.
1 IBB EE...g ~. - NJ. 1


A handsome mahogany case containing silk
flag with gold bullion fringe occupies nearly all
the available space OF the wall in the southern
part of the room OF Capt. CObaugh at the Treas
ury Department. Every visitor to the Depart
ment Is shown the flag and attention Is gem
orally invited 10 Is tear in one Of its stripes.
Tho flag formerly belonged to the Treasury
Guards, volunteer organization formed during
the war for emergencies that might arise at the
Capital of The Nation. After the fall of Rich
mOnd, and the night that President Lincoln
went 10 Ford's Iheater, tho flag, which was
then attached TO q stout rosewood flagstaff, was
borrowed by John i. Ford for decorative use
about tho box occupied by the President.
When the assassin fired the shot whose echo
was heard throughout the civilized world, he
leaped from the box, aud in doing so caught
the rowel of his spur in the silken folds of the
starry banner prOtruding from the President
box. That slip probably cost Booth his life, for
the flag trpped him aud caused the broken log
which impcded him in bis efforts TO escape and
rendered him an easy victim for Sergt Boston
CorbctPs riaebal. subsequently the flag was
returned to the Treasury Department, and dur
ing the few days that President johnson had
his Office in the Department the flag was in a
corner of the apartment. IL was removed,
however. by Capt. CObaugh to its present rest
ing. place and the staff WAS made into three
canes and presented to officials Of the Treasury
Department.
