Catch and the other doctors who had
been summoned did all that science

There Mrs. Lincoln, surrounded by

Shot in Back by Trooper.
Boston Corbett, whose chief claim
to place in American history is due
to an accident. WAS the New York
trooper who shot John Wilkes Booth
the assassin of Abraham Lincoln. Cor
bett was one of the guard stationed
about the tobacco house on the Gar
rett farm, which was the scene of the
last stand made by Booth in his eff
fort at escape. Booths attitude had
been so recklessly brave, and his prof
fers to the commanding officers of the
body that surrounded him so chival
rous, that even they, Chief I. C. Baker
of the secret service and Colonel Con.
ger, regretted that he had been shot
from behind by a trooper who had
lost his head.
The Death Of Booth.
After doubling back on their trail
the successful pursuers of Booth and
his companion and accomDlice, Davy
Herold, found them in the Garrett
barn. The building was surrounded
and negotiations for surrender were
conducted with the fugitive inside.
Booth Offered to come out. though the
leg fracture he sustained when he
leaped from Lincoln's box in the Ford
theater at Washington made him prac-
tfcally an invalid, and fight squarely
against his opponents for his life.
This was refused. and when finally

fired, he shouted to those outside to
prepare a stretcher for him At the
last moment Herold weakened. leay-

Any man who has occupied the office
of president realizes the incredible
amount of administrative work with
which the president has to deal even
in time of peace. He is of necessity a
very busy man, a much driven man,
from whose mind there can never be
absent for many minutes at time the
consideration of some problem of i'm
portance. or of some matter of less
Importance which yet causes strain
and worry. Under such circumstances
it is not easy for a president even in
times of peace to turn from the affairs
that are of moment to all the people
and consider of moment to but
one person. While this is true of
times of peace. it is of course infinite
ly more true of times OF war. No pres
ident who has ever sat in the white
house has borne the burden that Lin
coin bore, or been under the ceaseless
strain which he endured. 1t did not
let up by day or by night. Ever he
had to consider problems of the widest
magnitude, and ever through and

entered the box, slipped the improvis
ed bar In place and fired DerringeI
pistol a few inches from the back Of
President Lincoln's head.
For short time the audience
thought the shooting part of the
play. The sound of the shot had been
deadened by laughter. and the play
was a farce. President Lincoln him
self sat, head bowed down. with the
same smile on his countenance he
had worn as Trenchard amused the
playgoers with his sally.
Assassin Leaps to Stage.
Mrs. Lincoln, sitting next to the
president, gripped one arm; Miss Har
ris another. Major Rathbone had
grappled with the assassin. Booth
had thrown aside his derringer and
drawn dagger. He made vicious
lunge at the breast of the young Off
Ger. Rathbone warded it with his left
arm, receiving severe wound. Booth
cast his adversary aside and leaped
to the stage, fourteen feet below. But
as he leaped the wounded major
grasped at him, caught him for a
moment. and Booths spur struck in
the folds of the flag and tore hole
In the canvas of the Washington por

he was in the face Of physical danger
the limp limb impeded his escape
Nevertheless he made a strenuous eff.

hobbled to the exit, covering those
who sought to stop him with his pistol
and his eye.

II Was Staged and Executed
BY a Great Actor and Ac-
compIished With Dramatic
Features.
MURDER OF CAESAR is
RECALLED TO MEMORY
John Wilkes Booth, Evidently
In Fancy Saw Himself the
"Hero'' of a Vast and His
toric Tragedy.

Staged and executed by great
actor, the assassination of Abraham
Lincoln Is the most dramatic event
In all history. Even the assassination
OF Caesar, which parallels it in many
particulars, lacked the intense effects
OF the complete dramatic climax. Per-
haps John Wilkes Booth had the
death OF the Roman in mind when he
planned to slay Lincoln. In fancy he
saw himself the hero of a vast his
toric tragedy, he heard the sound of
the shots, beheld the fall OF the re-
united nations president, the rage and
tumult of the audience. the panic on
the stage and then himself as the
"deus ex machina." appearing sudden
ly in the glare of the footlights to
shout Sic semper tyrannis.'
"our American Cousin"
On the afternoon Of April 10 Presi-
dent Lincoln planned to witness Our
American Cousin benefit for
Laura Keene. to be given at Ford's
theater. 1t was one of the rare even
ings of relaxation the busy president
permitted himself 1t was doubly
grateful, in that the war was over.
General and Mrs. Grant were to have
been Of the party. Because they de-
cided to go on to Burlington. N. j..
where their daughter Nellie was at
school. they did not accept the presi-
dents invitation. So Mr.. and Mrs.
Lincoln invited in their stead Miss
Clara Harris. daughter of Senator
Harris of New York. and her fiance,
Major Henry Rathbone.
The Box Was Draped.
Az was the custom. the front Of the
presidential box was draped during
the day with the treasury flag. In
addition there had been hung before
1t portrait of George Washington.
For the convenience of the presidents
party two boxes were thrown into
one. During the afternoon someone,
possibly Booth--it never has been
discovered who-placed bar across
the door, barring ingress.
Booth had been around the theater
during the afternoon. In the evening
he was much in evidence. He had
ridden to the alley by the playhouse,
as was his frequent custom. and left
his horse. During the performance he
was in and out of the theater many
times.
A few minutes after 10 o'clock
Booth went to nearby restaurant
and took drink OF whisky. When he
came back he was humming a time.
He passed the door man. Bucking-
ham, and walked along the south wall
Of the theater until he came to the en-
trance Of the presidents box. There
was no one on guard. At the time the
audience was shrieking with laughter
at some sally delivered by Asa
Trenchard at the back of Mrs.
Mountchessingt0n.
II was at this moment that Booth

across his plans TO meet these great
dangers and great responsibilities was
shot the wool of an infinite number of
small worries and small annoyances.
He worked out his great task while
increasingly beset by the need of at
tending as best he could to a multi
tude of small tasks 1t is touching
thing that the great leader, while
thus driven and absorbed, could yet SO
often turn aside for the moment to do
some deed of personal kindness; and
it is fortunate thing for the nation
that in addition to doing SO we'll each
deed, great or small. he possessed that
marvellous gift of expression which en-
abled him quite unconsciously to
choose the very words best fit to COM
memorate each deed. His Gettysburg
speech and his second inaugural are
two of the half dozen greatest speeches
ever made. They are great in their
wisdom, and dignity, and earnestness,
and in loftiness of thought and express
sion which makes them akin to the ut
terances of the prophets of the Old
Testament.

This has been made possible by mar

bodied in this truly glorious instru-
ment is the Metrostylc attachment,
which portrays perfectly the authors
Interpretation. The greatest fea-
ture, however, is the Thermodist at

clearly accents SO perfectly that one
cannot but believe that human be-

tended by Mr.. Rogers, who will take
