: The Confederate soldiers assured
him that he need not fear them: they
were not looking for blood money"
| In their hearts they had no sympathy
with assassination. but they held
bloodshed lightly, and were without
loyalty to the national government.
! for they had just ended four red years
of war against its forces. They had
not yet taken the oath of allegiance
after defeat. and the hunted, tragic
fgure before them stirred their
compassion that they forgot the MUIR
dercr in the man. and told Booth they
would assist him across the river and
on his way. They said they were not
on recruiting service, as he thought.
They were merely disbanded soldiers.
but they knew the country well. and
their knowledge was at his service.

Booths spirits rose as the boat
neared the southern bank. and as he
talked he laughed for the first time

he entered Ford's Theater to commit
his crime. Then he had TESTED with
the doorkeeper.
AS Booth rode ashore in Port ROYAL
he said. with something OF his old

He had been in Virginia. in fact,
since crossing the Potomac. but he
had not counted himself safe until the
Rappahannock was behind him
He was indeed no safer here than
he had been before nor as safe; for
in the same hour that he crossed the
Rappahannock a party of detectives
and cavalry left Washington to take
up his trail at Port Conway. which
they were destined to reach within the
next twenty-four hours.
Tomorrow, Booths purSuers cross
his trail.
