THE LINCOLN ABDUCTION CONSPIRACY.
The Confession of 8. U. Arnold, one of the Dry
Tortucas Prisoner*— A Document not Heretofore
Published.
[From the Baltimore Sun, 19th. J
There has just been given for publica
tion—w ith what motive no one need care
to inquire—copies of certain statements
made t>y Samuel B. Arnold, now one of the
Dry Tortugas prisoners, and Atzerodt,
who was executed for alleged complicity
in the Lincoln assassination, the former
written by Arno and, in Baltimore, on the
18th of April, 186-3, just after his arrest at
Fortress Monroe, and ttie latter by Atzer
odt, the night previous to his execution.
Arnold .lways admitted that he bad orig
inally been party to an arrangement for
capturing .vlr. Lincoln and running him
off to Richmond, which design was aban
doned ; but the details which he gives in
this sia'emenl have some interest, though
not tiding entitled to prejudice, in any
way, the status, of the questiou of his par
don. The statement of Atzerodt is so con
fused and rambling that it is difficult to
tell whether he means to indicate that
Surratt was in Washington at the time of
the assassination or not. though he does
not profess to have seen him there. These
papers iiave been in the hands of Fix-Mar
shal McPbail, who, now that Hurratt’s
case is abandoned, furnishes them for pub
lication. We give the statement of Ar
nold, as follows:
CONFESSION OF SAMUEL B. ARNOLD, MADE
ON THE 18th OF APRIL, 1865,
To Whom it Man Concern : Know that
I, damuel B. Arnold, about the latter
part of August or the first part of Septem
ber, 1804, was sent for byJ. Wilkes Booth,
who was a guest at Barnum’s Hotel, in
the city ot Baltimore, Maryland, to call
to see him. I had uot seen the same J.
Wilkes Booth since 18.52, when we both
were schoolmates at Hi. Timothy’s Hall,
President L. Van Bookkelen then having
said hall as a pluce of tuition. His recep
tion of me was warm. Calling for wine
and cigars, we con versed a shot time upon
our former schoolboy days. We were in
terrupted by a knock at the door, when
Michael O’Laughlin was ushered in. Af
ter a formal introduction, we sap sipping
our wine, and all three smoked a cigar.
During smoking, he having heard pre
viously of my political leeliugs or senti
ments, he spoke in glowing terms of the
Confederacy and the number of surplus
prisoners in the hands of the United
Hlates. Then ensued the proposition by
J. Wilkes Booth, and which he(J. Wilkes
Booth) thought could be accomplished,
viz: of kidnapping President Lincoln, as
he frequently went unguarded out to the
Soldiers’ Horae ; and he thought he could
he picked up, carried to Richmond, and
for his exchange produce the exchange for
the President of all the prisoners in the
Federal bauds.
He, J. Wilkes Booth, the originator of
the scheme, asked if we would euter Into
it. After painting the chances of success
in such glowing colors, we coDsented, viz:
Michael O’Laughliu aud myself. We
were bound not to divulge it to a living
soul, i saw him once more in Baltimore,
and then he (J Wilkes Booth) left to ar
range liia business up North, first to New
York, thence to the oil regions, and from
there to Boston, and finally to Canada.
He was to he hack in a month. I received
a letter, which I destroyed, stating he was
laid up with erysipelas iu his arm, and as
soon as he was aide he would be with us.
Months rolled around, and he did not
make his appearance until some time iu
January. Iu his trunk he had two guns,
cap catridges, which were placed in the
gun stocks— Hpeucer Titles, I think they
were called—revolvers, knives, belts, car
tridge-boxes, cartridges, caps, canteens,
all fully fixed for service, which were to be
used in case of pursuit, and two pairs of
handcuffs to handcuff the President. His
trunk being so heavy, he gave the pis
tols, knives and liandcufTs to Michael
O’Laughlin and myself to have shipped or
bring to Washington, to which place he
had gone bought a horse, harness aud
buggy w/gon, leaving the team, etc., with
us to drive on to Washington.
We started from Baltimore about 12 or
1 o’clock, after having shipped the box
containing the knives, handcuffs and pis
ton, arriving iu Washington about seven
or half-past seven the same evening. We
met him on the street as we were passing
tire theatre. We alighted, took a drink,
and he told usof the theatre plan slightly,
saying he would wait till we put thehorse
away, and tell us more fully. He had pre
viously, as I now’ remember, spoken of the
chances at the theatre, if we could uot
succeed in the oilier plan at the Soldiers’
Home. We went to the theatre that night,
he (J. Wilkes Booth) telling us about the
different buck entrances, and how feasible
the plan was. He had rented a stable in
the rear of the theatre, having bought two
horses down the country. One was in the
stable behind the theatre, the other at liv
ery. Met him utxt day ; went together to
breakfast with him. He was always
pressed with business with a man uu
kuown to us then, by the n»me ot John
Surratt; most of his (Booth’s) time was
spent with him. We were left entirely in
the dark.
Michael O’Laughlin and myself rented
a ro tin on D street, No. 420, and obtained
meals at the Franklin House, on the cor
ner of D and Eighth streets. thus
lived for near y two months, seeing him
porlitps three or four times during the
week, and, when seen, always but for a
short time, having still pressing business
always on hand, viz: to see John Surratt.
Michael O Laughlinaud myself drove out
occasionally the horse liveried at Mr.
Nailer’s stable. We drov6 always (but
once) in the city aud Georgetown; the
once excepted across the Eastern Branch
bridge, when we went upward of five
miles, I suppose, and returned. This was
the only time I went over the bridge.
How often J. Wilkes Booth crossed I can
not state, but from his own words, often,
l'hus was Michael O’Laughlin’s and my
time spent for the most part—down at
Hull man’s Hotel (now St. Claire House),
on Pennsylvania avenue and Louisiana
avenue, in driuking and amusements,
with other Baltimoreans besides ourselves
congregating there, all of whom knew
nothing of our business, but that of selling
oil stock. Oil stuck was the blind for
them as well as my family.
•’During the latter part of March, whilst
standing on Kullmau’s porch, between
eleven and twelve o’clock P. M., a young
man name unknown, as I cannot re
member names —about five feet five or six
inches nigh, thick set, long nose, sharp
chin, wide cheeks, small eyes, (gray, 1
tLink.J dark hair and well dressed
color I don’t remember—called Michael
O’Luughlih aside, and said J. Wilkes
Booth wis lied to see us both at Gautier’s
saloon, on the avenue. I was then for
the first time introduced to him, but for
got ais name. \\ e walked up together.
Michael O’Laughlin, this unknown and
ntyseif were ushered into the presence of
J, \\ ilkes Booth, who introduced me to
John Surratt, Aizerodt, alias Port Tobac
co, , alias Moseby, making in all
seven persons. J. Wilkes Booth had sent
word to Michael O’Laughlin to bring me
up in a good humor, (still always in the
dark.) Then commenced the plan for
seizing the President. Each had his part
to perform. First, I was to rush into the
private box and seize the President, whilst
Atzerodt, alias Port Tobacco, and J.
Wilkes Booth were to handcuff him and
lower him on the stage, whilst Mose
by was to catch him aud hold him till we
got down. Surratt aud the unknown
were to be on the other side of the East
ern Branch bridge to facilitate escape. It
was afterwards changed to Moseby and
Booth to catch him in the box and to
lower him to me on the stage. O’Laugliiin
and the unknown were to put the lights
out, and Surratt and Atzerodt, alias Port
Tobacco, to be on the other side of the
I was opposed to the whole
and said It could not be accomplished. If
ever which was an impossibility, we could
get him out of the box and to the bridge,
would be stopped by the sentinel.
“Shoot the sentinel,” said Booth I said
that would not do, for if an alarm was
given there the whole thing was up, and,
as for me, I wanted the shadow of a chance
for escape and success. Micbeal O’Laugh
lin wanted to argue the same way, where
upon J. Wilkes Booth said, ‘‘You find
fault with everything concerned about
it.” I said no; that I wanted to have a
chance, and I intended to have it; that
he could be the leader of the party, but
not my executioner. Whereupon J.
Wilkes Booth remarked, in a stern, com
manding and angry voice. ‘‘Do you know
you are liable to be shot? Remember
your oath.” I told him the plan or basis
liad changed, and a compact on the part
of one broken is broken by all. If you
feel inclined to shoot me, you have no
further to go. 1 shall defend myself.
This, if 1 remember aright, was on a Fri
day, or may be a Thursday night, when I
said, ‘* Gentlemen, if this is not accom
plished this week I forever withdraw from
it.” I stayed up until about six or seven
o’clock next morning, Friday or Satur
day, and then went to bed. I remained
in-doors until twelve o’clock, when I
arose and went to get my breakfast.
Michael O’Laughlin and myself room
ed together, both arose at the same time,
and were always, in a measure, together.
Went to bed that evening about 7J o’clock.
This day that I went to bed so early we
met about 2 or thereabouts; told me I
spoke angrily the night of the meeting;
said I had been drinking. I told him no;
I was in my sober senses, and meant eve
ry word I said ; if not accomplished this
week I withdraw. Next day the thing
was to be accomplished on the Seventh
street road and failed. On Sunday I stayed
in Washington, and on Monday or Tues
day I returned to Baltimore, aud thence
to Hookstown. J. Wilkes Booth in the
meantime went to New York, aud return
ed to Baltimore dui ing the week, on Sat
urday, I think. He said he wished to see
me on very urgent business,and my fath
er sent for me. I came from the country
and he had gone to Washington, where
upon I wrote him the letter wnich was
found in his trunk. The Richmond au
thorities, as far as I know, knew nothing
of the conspiracy. The letter was written
after my return to the country, after find
ing that he could not wait to see me in
Baltimore.
During the week I came to the city and
met Michael O’Laughlin, who asked me
to go to Washington with him to finally
arrange his affairs. I went in the morn
ing—Friday, I think—and returned same
evening home, haviDg cut loose forever
from it. Next day I received a letter from
J. W. Wharton, at Fortress Monroe, giv
ing me employment. Went to the coun
try, got my clothing, and on the Ist day
of April, left Baltimore for Fortress Mon
roe, at which place I remained, never cor
responding with Booth, or seeiug him,
from the above named date to the present
writiug. The groundwork was to kidnap
tlie President without violence. He never
to me said that he would kill him. Furth
er than this I know nothing, and am in
nocent of having taken any part iu the
active deed committed.
Samuel B. Arnold.
THE PLAN OF ESCAPE
Was to place Mr. Lincoln iu the buggy
purchased for the purpose, aud cross the
Eastern Branch bridge. Surratt and At
zerodt, alias Port Tobacco, were to follow
them to where he had a boat concealed,
turn the horse loose, place the President
in the boat, and cross the Potomac to the
Virginia shore, and thence to make our
way to Richmond. Surratt kuew the
route, aud was to act as pilot.
Samuel B. Arnold.
A box painted black, like unto a sword
box, was seut by Booth from the hotel by
the porter there to our room. The next
day it was transferred in a wagon,
O’Laughliu acting as pilot, to some place.
1 was not present. After giving the box
to the driver, I went to Georgetown, and
O’Laughliu had the full charge of it. M.
O’Laughlin said he took it to Mr. Head’s,
and from ihtnce the unknown carried it
home. Took the guns out and carried
them to Pedee. This latter clause Booth
told me. Samuel B. Arnold.

CHILDREN’S READING
Tho Better Land.
A fJther and mother were living with
their two children on a desert island in the
midst of the ocean, on which they had been
shipwrecked. Koots and vegetables served
them for food; a spring supplied them with
water, and a cavern in the rock with a dwel
ling. Storm and tempest often raged fear
fully on the island.
The children could not remember how
they reached the island; they knew noth
ing of the vast continent: bread, milk, fruit,
and whatever other luxury is yielded there,
were things unknown to them.
There landed one day upon the island
four Moors in a small boat. The parents
felt great joy, and hoped now to be rescued
from their troubles; but the boat was too
small to take them all over together to the
adjoining land, so the father determined to
risk the passage first.
Mother and children wept when he em
barked in the boat with its frail planks,
and the four black men were about to take
him away. But he said, “Weep not ! It
is better yonder; and you will all follow
soon.”
When the little boat returned and took
away the mother, the children wept still
more. But she also said, “Weep not! In
the better land we shall all meet again.”
At last came the boat to take away the
two children. They were frightened at
the black men, and shuddered at the fear
♦ul sea over which they had to pass. With
fear and trembling they drew near the land.
But how rejoiced they were when their
parents appeared upon the shore, offered
them their hands, led them into the shade
ot lofty palm trees, and regaled them upon
the flowery turf with milk, honey and deli
cious fruits. “Oh! how groundless was our
fear!’’ said the children ; “we ought not
to have feared, but to have rejoiced, when
the black men came to take us away to the
better land.”
“Dear children,” said the father, “our
voyage from the desert island to thisbeaatL
ful country conveys to ns a still higher mean
ing. There is appointed for us all a still
longer voyage to a muoh more beautiful
country. The whole earth, on which we
dwell, is like an island. The land here is
indeed a noble one in our eyes, although
only a faint shadow of heaven. The passage
hither over the stormy sea is—death ; that
little boat resembles the bier, upon which
men in black apparel shall at some time
carry us forth. But when that hour strikes,
then we, myself, your mother, or you, must
leave this world. So fear not. Death is
for pious men who have loved God, and
have done His will, nothing else but a voyage
to a better land.’’
•' F.ipeotant of eternal peace.
The Christian reels Peatb’9 terrors aease;
And, led by God’s paterna' hand,
Mounia upward to the better land.’’

tients all over the habitable globe:
Dr. Maggiel, your Pill has rid me of all bilious
ness.
No more noxious doses for me, in five or ten
Pills taken at one time. One of your Pills cured
me.
Thanks, Doctor. My headache has left me.
Send another box to keep in the house.
After suffering torture from bilious cholic, two
of your Pills cured me, and I have no return of
the malady.
Our doctors treated me for chronic constipa
tion, as they called it, and at last said I was in
curable. Your Magglel’s Pills cured me.
I had no appetite, Maggiel’s Pills gave me a
hearty one.
Your Pills are marvelous.
I send for another box, and keep them In the
house.
Dr. Maggiel has cured my headache that was
chronic.
I gave half of one of your Pills to my babe for
cholera morbus. The dear young thing got well
In a day.
My nausea of a morning Is now cured.
Your box of Maggiel’s Salve cured me of noise
In the head. I rubbed some Salve behind my ear
and the noises left.
Send me two boxes. I want one for a poor
family.
I enclose a dollar. Your price Is twenty-five
cents, but the medicine to me Is worth a dollar.
Send me five boxes of your Pills.
Let me have three boxes of your Salve and
Pills by return mall.
Doctor, my burn has healed by your Salve.
For all Diseases of the Kidneys,
Retention of Urine, etc.,
Magglel's Pills are a perfect cure. One Pill will
satisfy any one.
