INNER STORY OF THE GREAT
TRAGEDY OF so YEARS AGO
Mr.. THOMPSON TELLS STORY
OF THE LAST JOURNEY OF
ABRAHAM LINCOLN
In the First lnstaIlmenf of The
lntelligencers New Serial on
Lincoln and Booth.

In the strange. appealing life story
or Abraham Lincoln. no chapter Il
nlled with deeper human interest than
that which terminated In his last
journey. on April and Q. 1896, from
City Point. on the James river. TO
Warrington. where he was 60 meet
his death at the hands OF an assassin.
This period OF Lincolns life showed
his greatness under the supreme test
of victory. He had seen Lees army
driven from the trenches OF Peters-
burg with Grant IN pursuit: had
walked the smoking streets OF cap
tured Richmond: had visited the late
official residence OF jefferson Davis
and when common men were Joyous
he mourned the cost in blood Of the
Federal triumph. With the Union
safe he longed to see a quick end to
the final acts of strife.
In his craving for peace. and news
from Grant that the end had been ac-
complished by the capture of Lees
army. he had tarried several days
after the fall of Richmond at Grants
base on the James.
Here his heart went out 20 all about
him who were suffering. Tenderness
for the thousands OF soldiers OF both
sides In the military hospitals at City
Point radiated from him. On his last
day there he walked tho hospitals Ave
hours without rest. and in that time
shook hands with not less than 5000
wounded soldiers.
To a guest who expressed the hope
that Jefferson Davis II taken would be
hanged he replied by quoting a phrase
from his second Inaugural address:

judged" Can adaptation Of Matthew,
