always supposed that the conspirators were
frightened away when they saw 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 a band of assas-
sins who made their headquarters in the city.

at the White House through Pierce's and Buchan-

Immediately stranger. who represented him
self as an experienced coachman from Baltimore,
applied at the White House and employed
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 sneaking
around the stables by some Of the guard, The
stables had been locked for the night and 1t was
not supposed that he could do any damage and
consequently the who saw him did not go
to the stables. Presently the whole interior OF
the barns was found to be on 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 was 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 out among us and thus
in all probability frustrated another attempt at
assassination.
What makes this appear more likely now is
the fact that, after the incendiary was arrested
he produced several witnesses. who later found
employment at Fords theater 10 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

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 a part of the household Every
private Of the guard received the same atten.
tons of courtesy as the most famous states
man or diplomat at the capital. We all formed
a strong personal attachment for the presi-

his life in behalf of the cause that had been
his life work we felt as If we had lost the
dearest friend we ever had.
During the first two years of our term of
service the most rigid discipline was enforced
Sometimes we would be ordered to use ex.
traordinary vigilance and to let no one enter
the grounds of the White House without the
proper passes and to be very particular as 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 our beloved
chief had escaped the hand of violence. The
back of the confederacy was broken, a good
feeling pervaded all Washington and conse-
quently the strict watchfulness that had pre-
vailed grew into laxity. This was the fatal

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.
It was in the summer of 1854, while we
were up at the home, that an incident hap
pened that came very near eliminating in
just such an awful tragedy as followed only a
few months later at Fords theater. It was
the custom of the president to remain late at
the war department when anything OF great
importance was happening in the army, con-
sulting with the secretary Of war and trans.
hitting and receiving dispatches, and after
his work was finished he would ride out to
the soldiers home. That summer he had per
sistently refused escort, imagining himself
perfectly secure.
One night about the middle of August
was doing sentry duty at the large gate
through which entrance was had into the
grounds at the home. The place is situated
about quarter of mile OF the Bladensburg
road and is reached by a devious driveway.
About one o'clock heard a rife shot in the
direction Of the city and shortly afterward
could hear approaching hoofbeats. In two OF
