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. Witness: V. Randall, E. G. Horner. Baltimore, April 18th, 1865. 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.
