When Tragic Story braham Lincous Death Mas

'It seems that detachment Of the 18th
New York Cavalry, numbering about IS men,
which was dispatched from this city on Mon
day under the direction of Col. L. &C Baker,
special detective of the War Department, in
command of Lieut. Dogherty, accompanied by
some OF Col. Bakers officers, captured and
killed Booth and captured Herold, one of his
accomphces alive.
THE cavalry, after leaving here landed at
Belle Plain in the night and Immediately
started out in pursuit Of Booth and Herold,
having previously aScertained from a colored
man that they had crossed the river into Vir-
GINA at Swan Point, in a small canoe, hired
by Booth from man for $780, E.
Proceeding on towards Bowling Green some
miles from Port Royal, Lieut. Dogherty, Who
was in command of the cavalry, discove-ed
that Booth and Herold were secreted in a
large barn, owned by man named Garrett,
and were well armed.
THE cavalry then surrounded the barn and
summoned Booth and his accomplice to
surrender. Herold was inclined at first to
accede to the request, but Booth accused him
OF cowardice, then they both peremptorily re-
fused to surrender and made preparations to
defend themselves. In order to take the con-
SpiratorS alive the barn was fired, and, the
flames getting too hot for Herold he APP
preached the door Of the barn and Signified

then came out Of the barn and gave himself
