which merely attracted attention, but suggested noth
ing serious, until a man rushed to the front oi tlie

hand, and exclaiming* Sic semper tyranai* / ' and

Details of the Assassination.
Washington, April 14, 1865—Washington was
tlnown into an intense excitement a lew minutes
before 11 o’clock this eveniug by tbe announce
ment that the Pr. sideDt and Secretary Seward had
bet-n assassinated and were dead.
The wildest excitement prevailed in all parts of
the city. Men women and children, old and young,
rushed to and fro, and the rumors were magnified
until we had nearly every member ef the Cabinet
killed. Seme time elapsed before authentic data
could be ascertained in regard to the affair.
About half past 1^1 o'clock thi^ evening a full,
well dressed man made his appearance at Secreta
ry Seward’s residence, and aaclied for admission.

The President and Mrs. Lincoln were at Ford’s
theatre, listening to the pet forn-.ance of the Amer-
c.in’ .^occupying a box in ihe second tier.
At the cljse of the thud act a person entered the
hex occupied by the President, and shot Mr Lin
coln in the head. The shot entered the back oi Ids
head aud came out above the temple.
ticn, of the course there was an abrupt termination of
the theatrical performance.
There was a rush towards tlie President’s box, when
cries were heard, “stand back and give him air,” “has
any one stimulants ?”
On a hasty examination it was found that tlie Presi
dent hod been shot through the head, above and back
of the temporal bone, and that some of the brain was
oozing out. *
