TN GREAT c,tme Recalled,

Booth himself was made Of sterner
stun. Five minutes past ten on the
evening Of April II, 1865, he entered
FOrd's theater at Washington, where
President Lincoln was attending .
performance Of ''Our American
Cousin" Holding in one hand . re-
volver. in the other . dagger, he
opened the door Of the box occupied
by the presidential party, placed
the revolver close to the presidents
head and fred the fatal shot. At this
moment the actor in the man FREEDOM
mated. He jumped from the box to
the stage, waving the dagger, fell on
one knee and shouted: "Sic semper
tyrannis." Before actors or audience
had recovered from their astonish-
ment the assassin had made good his
escape. When Booth sprang from the
box to the stage one of his spurs
caught ia curtain, the fall producing

When John Wilkes Booth commit
ted his great crime he was twenty
seven years of age. He was one of the
idols of the theater-geingp public, having
inherited his fathers remarkable tai
ent in greater measure even than his
brother Edwin. Being an ardent con.
federats, the downfall Of Lee preyed
on his mind, and may have produced
mononania. This would perhaps be q
proper and charitable view had he
carried out his evil design without
calling to his aid others who were less
intelligent and far-seeing. When
Cassius and Brutus conspired they
called upon their equals in rank and
opportunities. Booth associated with
himself David Herold, young drug
gist's clerk; Lewis Payne, a deserter
from the confederate ranks; George
Atzerodt, a sign painter; Samuel Ar
mold and Michael Mclaughlin, two
confederate soldiers, and John 81.
6uratt, the young son of his landlady.
He was the evil genius of these smaller
minds- He filed their hearts with
hatred for persons and things which
before had been merely Objectionable.
He persuaded them to believe that
murder was heroic; and. say what we

Booths Grave ut Baltimore.

The body Of Booth was taken to
Washington. An autopsy was held
and the remains identified. The story
that Booth escaped and that some other
body was substituted is without foun-
dalton. This rumor is repeated about
once year, although it should have
been set at rest long ago. After the
inquest the body was buried in one Of
the cells Of the old Washington penn

years when it was given to members
Of his family. Subsequently the re-

Sergeant Corbett's Fatal Shot.

Lieut. Doherty and his men reached
the old farmhouse 1T two o'clock in
the morning. The lieutenant dis
mounted, knocked. and seized old Gar
rett as soon as he had opened the door.
The old farmer swore that the two
fugitives had left his house, but his
son informed the officer that they
we're hidden in the barn. The soldiers
1T once surrounded the rickety struc-
ture and demanded the surrender of
the inmates. When no response came
to this summons, they piled brush and
hay against the barn. This significant
measure induced Herold to give him
self up; but Booth appealed to the
lieutenant to give him chance for
his life and offered to fight the soldiers
singly. The challenge was, of course,
declined. Meanwhile the men had set
fire to the barn. The bright flames re-
vealed the assassin, leaning on a crude
crutch, in the act of starting toward
the door. At this moment Eergt.
Boston COrbett fred the shot which
struck Booth in the back of the head
and produced deith few hours later.
And thus closed the second act of the
great national tragedy, on April &c,
1865.
