A New Story Of the Assassination Of Lincoln.


endeavoring to climb up to the box
from the stage. Meantime, the Presi-
dent had remained sitting In his chair
with his head bent forward, but
distinctly saw him rise once to his
feet and In a~dazed sort Of way at
tempt to take a step or two. He was
not upright, but half erect. Just then
Major Rathbone came to his assist
ance, and, supported by the latter,
he sank back into his chair. About
this time / noticed Miss Laura Keene,
who had reached the box from the
private way back of the stage, and
who was said to have brought a glass
of water which might refresh the
President. The bar against the door
having been removed from the inside,
several people went into the box from
the dress circle, and little more could
be distinguished thereafter.
Strangely enough, an assassination
plot seemed to have been understood
at once, for word was passed around
that the place would be blown up.
There was a general rush to vacate
the theatre, and from our position
we were necessarily about the last
ones that could possibly leave the
place. On nearing the doorway we
saw men approaching from the pas
sageway back of the box with the
form of the President, carried on an
improvised stretcher-as it now
seems to me a window shutter, or
something of that nature-and we
stopped to let them pass. They were
fastening from the building as well
as they could, and the President s
head was thrown back and hanging
somewhat down. He vas quite I'M
conscious, seemed perfectly limp, and
was bleeding slightly from the wound
in his head. Just as they passed by
I glanced on the floor, and, seeing the
crimson blotch on a piece of paper,
1 picked it up. That the marks there
on are the life-blood of Abraham
Lincoln is as certain as that he was
shot on the date and in the place
mentioned.
AS the place remained brilliantly
lighted and there seemed to be no
immediate danger, we went back to
the Presidents box, where almost
the first thing that attracted the no.

Tn the School of Trial.

Uur extremity is often Gods oppor-
tunity. When we have learned to
trust Gods promises; when through
tribulation we have learned to pray
as never before, when we have been
made to feel our own weakness, and
our Saviour's strength, has been real
lied more fully, then our very trial
has become a school of discipline to
us. Tribulation is but the strivings
out of which We are won to a nobier
character. Our trials as a usual thing
not only teach us humility. but bind
us more firmly in love and in graft
tude to God. And the work OF divine
discipline is a lifelong process. No
one ~deliverance can owe the whole
of our experience. AS We grow older
and wiser we get a deeper insight into
what we ought to be. What we ought
to be we can be.
The Penn's Grove record., 1910-02-11

General Grant and other notables
were to attend Ford's Theatre that
night. This caused me to resolve
upon going to the theatre, as l had
never seen General Grant, whose
fame had for some time been so well
established. Quite early in the even
ing / started out at the solicitation Of
a young friend of mine, John Danser,
of Trenton, N. j., to witness a street
parade in honor of the passage of
the eight-hour law, etc. We could
hear the bands playing, and directly
came to a point where we could dis
Germ floats, torchlights, etc., coming
down Louisiana venue. After watch
ing the procession we proceeded to
the theatre. We selected seats in
the dress circle, which was as yet al
most vacant, and secured places
where no more than two or three
dozen others were able to see as well
as ourselves the arrangements of the
Presidents box, which was situated
Immediately across from our position
and on the same level.
About the middle of the first act
the President and party arrived and
were received with loud and hearty
applause. The band played Hail to
the Chief" which stopped the per-
Torrance for a few minutes while
they were proceeding to their seats.
On reaching the box the President
took a large armchair in front and
to the left as they entered; Mrs. Lin
coin took a chair in front and to the
right, and Miss Harris n neal Mrs.
Lincoln, but not quite as far forward.
Major Rathbone was seated farther
back than the ladies on an old-fash-
toned sofa that ran along the wall on
the extreme right.
About the middle of the third act
a shot was heard and Immediately
~thereupon rang out John Wilkes
Booths cry, "Sic semper tyrannis;"
not after he reached the stage, as has
been stated in ome accounts; neither
did he jump from the box full height,
with arms o%utspreaC and upstretched,
as we often see him in illustrations.
On the contrary, he placed both hands
upon the rail of the box and swung
himself over in that manner, thereby
l%essening the fall by the distance of
his own height. One of his spurs
caught in the American colors with
which the box was draped, and he
probably landed his whole weight on
one foot. On striking the stage he
pitched forward on all tours, and /
then saw the blade of a long stiletto
or dagger glisten in the footlights, as
his hand lay on the floor. He quickly
rose to his feet and took one or two
uncertain steps, then, turning to face
the audience, drew himself up in
theatrical attitude, and, swinging his
arm in a half circle, made a grand
flourish with the dagger, and was off
the stage in a flash. Next came the
piercing and horrifying shrieks of
Mrs. Lincoln, and then arose a fearful
commotion. Directly efforts were
made by some parties to get into the
box from the outside, but the door
was barred from the inside. l next
noticed a military officer standing
on the shoulders of another man and

the fact and not before it, if he had
any guilty knowledge Of the con-
spiracy. Where his sympathies really
were, however, was readily con-
jectured, for he harbored Booth and
afforded him every surgical and
friendly assistance in his power.
Spangler was a scene shifter at the
theatre, and no one had the remotest
idea that he was connected with the
assassination Understandings. One
thing that made Booths act seem
%peridious and dastardly beyond ex-
preston was the fact that about three
weeks before that time he was at the
White House and specially introduced.
The President greeted him very cor
daily, and, taking him by the hand,
said: "Mr. Booth, 1 am proud to
meet you as a son of the elder Booth"

long to be remembered. In Wash

streets were thronged with people.

and not altogether pleasantly so. 1t
is undeniable that the most ugly
rumors sprang into existence, and his
rather inconsistent conduct at the
time, and subsequently, gave consid-
cradle c~ountenance to some Of them.
Wilkes Booth was said to have been
closeted with Andrew johnson at the
quarters of the latter in the Kirk
wood Hotel for over two hours a day
or two previous to the assassination,
and this fact, although not necessarily
in itself of criminal significance,
ranked in the minds of many people.
Against this was the superstition,
pretty well supported by evidence,
that Johnson was included in the as
sassination scheme, Atzerodt being
told off to effect his death. Perhaps
the most tangible thing to his detri-
ment, as shown by the hotel clerk.
was the fact of Booths having sent
up to him on one of the days referred
to a written communication, the ma
ture of which johnson never cared to
make known.-Leslie's Weekly.
The Penn's Grove record., 1910-02-11

tics of my companion and myself
was the pistol which Booth had used,
lying on the floor only about three
or four feet back of the chair in
which Mr.. Lincoln sat. l recall the
Weapon as a single-barreled percus-
sion-cap affair of the Derringer type,
shorter and more compact than the
dueling pistols SO much in favor
among gentlemen of the old school in
those days. AS we started to leave
the theatre we met, at the head of
the stairway, a policeman, who in
quired if we were present at the time
of the shooting, ETC., and said we had
better give our names and addresses,
as it might be necessary to call us as
witnesses. 1 drew the pistol out of
my pocket and gave it to the police
man to take charge of against the
chance of it's being called for as evil
dence.
The blood-stained program has
never been out of the hands of my
immediate family. Soon after the oc-
currence l gave it to my mother, Mrs.
Mary A. Taylor, of Trenton Falls, N.
Y, in whose custody it remained until
her death in 1889. 1t was then kept
by my sister, Mrs. Merritt Peckham,
Jr., of Albany, N. Y, until it recently
came into my possession again. 1t
always seemed to me extremely
doubtful that Wilkes Booth could
have been the accredited representa-
tive of the governing body of the
Southern Confederacy, notwithstand-
ing that Jefferson Davis, in a speech
at Charleston, S. c., when he received
a dispatch from John c. Brecken-
ridge, announcing Lincoln's murder,
remarked to his audience: "If 1t
were to be done, 1t were better that
it were done WE'LL" The brutal
frankness of such a statement made
in public was almost sufficient evil
dence that he was not directly know
ing to the Infamous plot.
Although the conspiracy al of
considerable magnitude, it was not
more than sufficient to satisfy Wilkes
Booths morbid craving for notoriety.
He had signally failed as an actor
and was known to be a man OF a
moody disposition, suffering from the
pangs of disappointed ambition, and
for some reason embittered against
authority of any kind. He had a lit
tie following of kindred spirits, who
revolved around him as a central
figure, and to whom he posed as a
kind of oracle on the occasion of their
pothouse assemblages. A friend OF
mine named Christie, who was door
keeper of the House of Representa-

Gods Love For Us.

If ever human love was tender, and
self-sacrifcing and devoted: if ever
it could bear and forbear; if ever it
could suffer gladly for its loved ones;
if ever it was willing to lavish itself
for the comfort or pleasure of its OBJ
jects; then infinitely more is Divine
love tender, and self-sacrificing and
devoted, and glad to bear and forbear.
and to suffer and to lavish its best
blessings upon the objects of its love,
Put together all the tenderest love
you know, of the deepest you have
ever felt. and the strongest that has
ever been poured out upon you. and
heap upon it all the love of all the
loving hearts in the world, and then
multiply it by infinity, and you will
begin, perhaps, to have some faint
glimpse of what the love of God is.

leg. Passed all his pickets," and so
IN. Toward the last he wrote:
AFTER being hunted like a dog
through swamps, etc., etc., l am here
in despair, and why? For doing
what Brutus was honored for-what
made Tell a hero" Further on he
says: "I am abandoned with the
curse of Cain upon me, when, If the
world knew my heart, that one blow
would have made me great"
The personnel of this organization
under Wilkes Booth as a guiding
spirit was what might have been ex-
pected. Payne and Atzerodt were
just ordinary thugs without a vestige
of character. Herold was a young,
foppish sort of fellow, none too we'll
established as compos mentis. Sam
Arnold and Miles O'Laughlin were
Confederate common soldiers and
ready enough to take orders from
Booth, but when 1t came to facing
the issue they were found wanting.
Altogether they were a wretched lot
until we consider John H. Surratt and
his mother, who were of a decent fam
lily and ought to have known better
than to be found in such associations.

tives for many years, knew n of this
band very well, and he used to tell
Christie some of the wise utterances
of Wilkes Booth, one of which was:
"The fame of the youth who fired the
Ephesian dome will oltliye that of
the pious fools who reared it." At
the time of Booths capture he was
found to have kept, in his flight, a
diary, in which his egotism was great
ly in evidence. 1t was rather a dis
jointed affair, full of wild and ardent
expressions. He had seen newspaper
comments, and was surprised and
deeply grieved at not finding himself
glorified in the affair. The following,
just as written by him, gives a good
idea of the matter: "A colonel was

Girls Organize
Society Girls win Work.

Several Trenton society young
women interested in the woman's suf-
frage movement, have decided to dis
cover the real conditions concerning
the working girl. Miss Matilda AL
cult, Miss Josephine Williams and
Miss Julia Fiske admit their intention
of going to work in factories and
mills, and other prominent members
of the younger set are to do likewise.
There has been a great difference of
opinion among the young society
women as to woman's suffrage. Those
who are to make the practical test
have been opposed to the movement,
and do not believe the mill and fac
tory girls are downtrodden.
