which the report of the gun had been heard to

the driveway meets the main road we found the
presidents hat-a plain silk hat-and on examin-

it was evident that the person who had fired 1t

The next day gave Mr.. Lincoln his hat and
called his attention to the bullet hole He uncon-

foolish gunner and was not intended for him. He

The next fall after we had taken up our win

by US. Had the truth of the affair leaked out at

receptions TO foreign legations or prl-
vate interviews. At all such functions
we were silent spectators of all that took
place. We were always treated with the high
est respect by the Lincoln family who re-
garded US as a part of the household. Every
private of the guard received the same atten-
items of courtesy as the most famous states
man or diplomat at the capital. We all formed
a strong personal attachment for the presi-
dent and when the grand old man laid down
his life in behalf of the that had been
his life work felt If we had lost the
dearest friend we ever had.
During the first two years of our term of
service the most rigid discipline enforced.
Sometimes we would be ordered to use ex-
traordinary vigilance and to let one enter
the grounds of the White House without the
proper passes and to be very particular to
who approached the president. Often the or
der would come for the guards on duty to
be doubled 1t was seldom that he knew the
direct cause of these extra precautions, but
we supposed that the officers of the secret
service were in possession of information of
some plot that brooded harm to the presi-
dent.
Up to 1864, owing to our vigilance and the
protecting hand of Providence. beloved
chief had escaped the hand of violence. The
back of the confederacy was broken, good
feeling pervaded all Washington and conse-
quently the strict watchfuness that had pre-
vailed grew into laXity. Ih1S was the fatal
period for it was at this time that conspira
cies were Matched and confederates overran
the city. comparatively unmoested. The pres
ident and family spent the summer at the SOL
dier's home situated about three miles north
of the city and thither the bodyguard always
accompanied them.
1t was in the summer of 1864 while
were up at the home. that an incident hap
pened that came very near eliminating in
just such an awful tragedy as followed only
few months later at Ford's theater. 1t
