the walk they were to seize, gag and carry him
across the river into Virginia Thence he was
to be taken to Richmond some other confed-
crate stronghold, where he to be held as
hostage. The members Of the bodyguard
always supposed that the conspirators were
frightened away when they our guard tent
and abandoned the plan of kidnapping.
Not long after the attempted kidnapping an
other episode took place which afterward was
found to have been planned by band Of assas-
sins who made their headquarters in the city.
Bourke, the veteran coachman, who had served
at the White House through Pierces and Buchan-
ans administrations and thus far into Lincolns,
was taken sick and compelled to be of duty.
Immediately a stranger who represented him
self as an experienced coachman from Baltimore,
applied at the White House and was employed
as coachman. From the first he was domineer-
ing and after few weeks became so important
that he was discharged and Bourke reinstated.
One night shortly afterward, just about dusk,
the discharged coachman was seen sneaking
around the stables by some Of the guard. The
stables had been locked for the night and It was
not supposed that he could do any damage and
consequently the who him did not go
to the stables. Presently the whole interior of
the barns found to be fire. The guard
was called out and by dint Of great exertion we
saved the presidents coach and team, but Tad
Lincoln's ponies and Col. Hays carriage team
persisted in the flames.
The plan to have this man fire the
stables and thus to distract our attention. Dur
ing the excitement some of the conspirators were
ready to rush into the White House and murder
the president. but instead Of remaining In the
house Mr.. Lincoln ran out among and thus
in all probability frustrated another attempt at
assassination.
What makes this appear more likely now is
the fact that, after the incendary was arrested
he produced several witnesses. who later found
employment at Fords theater, to testify that he
was down In the city during the whole of the
evening. These were the persons who doubtless
planned the final conspiracy that brought the
great benefactor to the grave.
