Booth tried every way to secure Beall's
release from prison. but in vain. An eff
fort to secure his escape was made, il
which DR.. Foote was to be a party
In fact, two plans came to naught.
The interesting point really of his
toric interest. is to follow. DR. Foote's
private memorandum gives a statement
that will surprise many as it did us
The comomn idea is that President Lin
coin was murdered by John Wilkes
Booth because he was the head of the
Northern States and was responsible
for the war upon the South. In other
words, that Booth, being in intense sym
pathy with the South, and being some
what daft. had assaSsinated the presi
dent on account of his course in the war
After the plans failed Dr. Foote says
Booth hurried to Washington, and on
his knees implored President Lincoln
and Secretary Seward to pardon or al
least respite Beal Lincoln promised
to respite, but that night ordered his
execution. DR.. Eoote says:
This order was executed and Beal
was hanged within thirty yards of my
window and inside Fort Columbus, and
not ut Johnson's Island. as has been FIRE,
quently reported.
Booth. for what he termed the per
fidy of President Lincoln toward him
self and friend Beall, at once swore to
avenge his friends death by killing both
Lincoln and Secretary Seward He did
not intend to shoot Lincoln in the thea
ire, but the contemplated opportunity
did not offer itself elsewhere,
But for the fact that Booths spur
caught in the curtain that fatal night
he would have escaped-at least for a
time. The war had nothing to do with
the assassination of the President; it
was due simply and solely to revenge
intensified by Booths love and admira-
ton for his friend.
Booth went to New York the morn
ing of Bealfs execution, and being So
grievously disappointed at what had
occurred, he became measurably an III
sane man. / had not the slightest idea
of Booths plan to assassinate the Presi-
ueHt. LIE pldH was hioNh oii! " wy
man. and to him Booth revealed 1t only
an hour before the assassination. The
man to whom he thus confided his pur
pose begged him not to carry it out. and
finding that Booth was not to be turned
from his revenge, left the city before the
horrid tragedy occurred
We were very intimate with DIR. Foote
for many years. He was our family
physician. and most attentive, sympa
thetic and skillful. We always thought
him truthful. honorable and sincere. We
at least believe his statement without
reservation.

London, Oct. 0.-Most important news
comes from the Transvaal which if true
probably indicates that the South Afri-
can Republic is about to yield, or, in any
case, that the Beers have abandoned all
idea of invading Natal. The news is
comprised in cabegrnm from Newcas-
tie, Natal, which says that farmers who
arrived there from the Buffalo river state
that the Beers are returning to their
homes, leaving patrols along the river
The commanders still remain on the
Free State border. The dispatch also
says that the feeling at Newcastle now is
that the Beers do not intend to attack
that place and that the evacuation Of the
town was premature. A dispatch from
Durham also says that the excitement
there has abated owing to the Beers
holding back from the frontier.
This retirement of the Beers is what
the British war authorities have expect
ed, as their defective commissariat would
prevent them from long remaining mass
ed along the border. kilograms received
here recently have made frequent refer
ence to the scarcity of forage and sup

that many of those in the camps were in

Plattsburg, n. Y, Oct. 9.-Reports
from different points in the Adirondacks
are that wolves have again appeared
there and are attacking their old prey,
the deer Several findings have been
made by guides Of evidences of struggles
between deer and some animal, the car
casses of the deer remaining to tell the
tale.
1t has been generally supposed that
panthers and wolves were almost extinct
in the Adirondack wilderness and that
the deer had no four footed animals to
fear since the enactment Of the law
which renders Illegal the use Of hounds
in hunting them. Chief Game Protector
Pond says that deer wintored on the Dor
der of the woods to escape the wolves,
and also to take advantage of the earlier
season in open slaces.
More deer are being killed in the Adj
rondacks this year than in any one year
since bounding WAS abolished. Partridc ns
and gray squirrels are very plentiful
