ing of Mrs. Surratt is now admitted
on all sides as a crime, almost as
mean as the killing Of the President.
The torture to which the three
suspects of completely with Booth
were subjected read more like those
inflicted by the Spanish Inquisition
than by supposedly civilized people
in country which holds with horror
the Spanish acts. The men were
chained, foot and hand, to heavy
iron rails, while their heads were
covered with iron hoods with no aper-
lures, save a small hole to breathe
through. No opening appeared for the
eyes, and when, after days, the hoods
we're removed, the men were stone
blind, but gradually partially regain
ed sight. That one or more of the
men deserved death there is no ques-
ton, but the mind revolts that in ad-
dition to it the fiendish cruelty as
would bring the blush to a savage.
The excitement and desire for re-
venge is given as an excuse for the
horrible treatment, but that is poor
one.
Though assured that Mrs. Surratt
was innocent of the plot and merely
took Booth and the others to stay at
her little boarding house, the man
who was the beneficiary of the as
sassination, Andrew Johnson, was
afraid to pardon her, as it might
show sympathy and create suspicion.

I'm married now, but she is still my
