Confederate Veterans Who Saw the Mighty Spectacle Before Have It
 Brought Back During Reunion

Seats will be placed on sale this morning for the second return en- gagement at the Jefferson theatre next week of D. W. Griffith's mighty spec tacle of the civil war and reconstruc- tion, 'The Birth of Nation" The en- gagement. which has been arranged especially for reunion week, will be- gin Sunday with matinee and night performances.

The assassination scene, which has been commented upon everywhere as a marvel of realism. wa worked out on a carefully arranged ground plan of Ford's theatre, Wash l ington. This explains the clean cut | manner in which 1t is all reproduced. 1 The scene also fixes the time accur- oeSAs emu SOISAdulCtS lne general . pression that the fatal shot was fired from the stage. As near as could be l judged after weighing the consensus of opinion, Booth entered the front o1 the theatre a minute or two before 1t o'clock that night. He had to enter to the house and most everybody knew
 him. It was figured out that it tool
 him about 13 minutes to move abou
 and work his way down to the rear ot
 the presidential box without arousins
 suspicion. It was in this way that tn,
 time of the shot was set at 10:13. Tn,

 cupied by General and Mrs. Grant, bu
