Editor Atlanta Journal:
In meeting Of one Of the chapters OF
the Daughters Of the Confederacy q few
days since. the suggestion of President
Mckinley, made in a speech in Atlanta
some two years ago. in reference to con-
gress taking the same care OF Confeder-
ate graves as those Of the Federal, was
discussed and It was suggested that this
matter. be presented in proper form at
the state convention, which is soon to
meet in Columbus. Ca, and that steps
be taken by the convention to present
this matter to our national congress and
that we accept his proposition. 1t seems
to the writer, that as the south by her
taxes shares the expense of caring for the
graves of the union soldiers and also in

Was John Wilkes Booth a Southern
Mann

MANI
A correspondent writes thus:
''In your semi-Weekly Journal OF Sep
TENDER SOth, under the heading 1.-The Les
son Of the Assassination I notice you
claim President -Ldncoln's assassin. Booth,
to have been a southern man.
EITHER you or Alexander H. Stephens
were misinformed.
''Afr. Stephens, in his history Of the
United States. gives 1t as follows:
Mr.. Lincoln was horribly assassinated
at Ford's theatre In Washington. city by
John Wilkes Booth, an actor Of note and
a son OF Junius Brutus Booth, the famous
tragedian. Tt was matter Of qualification
to thousands on the Confederate side that
Booth was not a southern man and had
never been connected with their cause.
Page SIS. Stephens history Of the Unit
ed States"
John Wilkes Booth was born in Hartford
county. Maryland, and was a sympathizer
with the Confederate cause.
To avenge the lost cause he formed a
conspiracy with Surratt, Powell and 9TH
ers.
con the 18th Of April. 1866. he entered
Ford's theatre. Washington and shot
President Lincoln, who was sitting in a
private box. Exclaiming ''sic semper
tyrannis." he leaped down to the stage
and broke his leg. but he mounted horse
that was standing ready and escaped to
Virginia.
He concealed himself IN a barn near
Bowling Green, where he was discovered
by detectives, and refusing to surrender,
ne was shot April 20, 1866.
Such is the record OF the Encyclopedia.
Maryland was considered a southern
state, although Maryland, like Kentucky,
did not secede from the union. This ques-
ton hinges on the afhliation or sympathy
OF Marylanders for the Confederate cause.
I believe John wilkes Booth was a SYM
pathizer with the south.
When John Surratt was tried in Wash
ington as an accomplice in the killing Of
Mr. Lincoln read the full account Of the
trial in the largest newspaper Of Wash
ington city day by day as the trial was re-
ported for the press. OF course my mind
was impressed with the loyalty of John
Wilkes Booth to the Southern Confed-
eracy, when his intimate friends and every
day associates were accused and tried for
supposed completely with Booth.
Mrs Surratt. the mother of John, was
hung, with others, for supposed concur
renee with John Wilkes Booth in the as
sasination plot. With all respect for Mr..
Stephens account, I still believe Booth
was a southern man.
