NEW FACT ABOUT LINCOLN TOLD BY HIS BODYGUARD. Did Guard Leave His Post the Night Lincoln Was Shot7 Colonel William H. Crook, who was Lincoln’s bodyguard, brings up a new point regarding the president’s assas sination in his recently published book of reminiscences, "Through Five Ad ministrations.” Colonel Crook writes: “X have often wondered why the neg ligence of the guard who accompanied the president to the theater on the night of the 14th has never been di vulged. So far as 1 know, it was not even investigated by the police de partment. let had he done his duty I believe President Lincoln would not have been murdered by Booth. The man was John Parker. It was the custom for the guard who accompa nied the president to the theater to remain in the little passageway out side the box—that passageway through which Booth entered. Mr. Bucking ham, who was the doorkeeper at Ford’s theater, remembers that a chair was placed there for the guard on that evening of the 14th. Whether Parker occupied it at all 1 do not know. If he did he left it almost immediately, for he confessed to me the next day that he went to a seat at the front of the first gallery so that he could see the piny. To me It is very probable that the fact that there was no one on guard may have determined the time of the attack." MORE FOREIGN STUDENTS. One American Agricultural College Has Sixteen.
