JOHN WILKES BOOTH.
The story of John Wilkee Booth and hie
trsglc death will ever ba one of Interest to the
reader. There Is something m> mysterious connec
ted with It, that many refuse to believe in the as
raisin's death, and stoutly maintain bis exlitence.
In a talk with I>r. G. G. Hoy, of this city, he fur
nished some particular's of Booth’s death not be
fore known, and wbat is more, these incidents
were narrated by the principal In rendering relief
to the dying man. Bald the doctor:
On a visit to my daughter, Mrs. Dr. Webb, of Bow
ling Green, Caroline county, V*, last Christmas,
I was permitted an Interview with Miss H„ who
was residing at the Garrett ^homestead, where
Wilkes Booth stopped after the awantnatlon of
President Lincoln, and where he was captured
snd died from the rifle shot of Boston Corbett,
found MIm H. a most intelligent snd Interesting
talker, a teacher by profesrton. She was deliber
ate and careful in her conversation, and though
demanding that her name should not be pub-
llrbed, frankly answered and enlarged
upon every question propounded to her; and of
the veracity of her every statement I have not the
slightest doubt.
The Gsrrett homestead Is situated on the Rappa
hannock river, twenty miles south of Fredericks
burg and two miles north of the village of Port
Royal, on the tame river. On tho north sldo uf
the river, opposite this village, Is Port Conway.
To this place Booth came the Sunday afternoon after
the amswlnatlon. He sent Harrold across the river
to Port Itoyal to know If there were any confederate
©mcers there. learning that there were, he and
Barrold went across the river and were
met by Lieutenant Buggies and a young man,
Willie Jett. It seems that Harrold was very
confiding In bis communications to these young
men, and bad Informed them who Booth was.
This very much displeased Boothe, who very se
verely chided llarrold for his Indiscretion.
Miss II. said that about noou on Monday three
men came from the main road down the lane to
Mr. Richard Henry Garrett’s bouse, where I wns
residing in the capacity of teacher. One was ri
ding alone, and two were on one horse. These
two proved to bo Jett and Booth. Mr. Garrett be-
ing out on the farm, they were met by some of the
Isdles of the fsmlly, snd Jett, speaking, requested
permission to leave his friend Mr. Boyd, who htd
been wounded at the evacuation
of Petersburg, and needed a few days’ rest. They
were invited to remain until Mr. Gsrrett reached
the bouiie, snd they accepted. Ho soon came,
when Jett said: "Mr. Garrett, let mo Introduce to
you my Blend, Mr. Boyd, who was wounded at
Petersburg, and whom wo would like for you to
takecareof for three days, when we will come and
take him away.” Mr. Garrett said. “But who are
you? You are all strangers to me, and though I
would Ilka to accommodate any one in distress, I
am very poorly prepared to do so now.” Jett
quickly said: "My nsmo Is Jett.” Mr. Gsrrett
said: "Arc you a son of William Jett, of King
George l county?” Jett replied: "I l am.”
Mr. Gsrrett then said; "If that is so, your father
Is an old friend of mine. Wo onoo did business
together, and If youaro his son,I don’t feel willing
to turn away your friend, who seems to bo hurt, as
he Is on crutches.” He then Invited them Into tho
boufc. Boyd, who was J. Wilkes Booth,n malncd.
Tho other two (Jett and Buggies) rode off, promis
ing to be In often to see after their Mend, and that
on Wednesday they would call and take him
away. They came latoln the afternoon to seo
Boyd,” and had a short conversation wltu him,
snd rode off again. A Lieutenant Balnbrldge was
at Port Royal, snd was one of the party to meet
Booth.
Mbs II. rays: Harrold came on Tuesdeay and re
mained with Booth. Booth was an intensely
Interesting talker,land as gentle snd refined
his deportment as a lady,
along very well oa crutches,
when an offer was made to dress his wound ho re
fined, saying It did not troublo him and he did not
mind It None of the Garrett family, up to this
lime, had heard of Uio aisasslnatlon of President
Lincoln. On Tuc*day, tho day after Booth came
two of Mr. Garrett’s sons went fishing In the river.
Then they heard for tho first time of the a
lion. They returned by dinner, and at the dinnor
table told what they had heard of the murder of
president. Booth was present’
snd Miss II. rays was an Intent listener, without the
slightest emotion or any change of countenanco ex
cept thnt of great surprise,which pervaded allicat
ed at tho table. Mr. Garrett, Hr., very quickly re
marked: "1 hope It Is not so. I believe It would bo
one of the greatest calamities that could befall
us,” Booth, up to this lime silent aud without
emotion, a llttlo.'excltcdly said: "!>o you think
that?” Mr. Garrett replied: "Yes, 1 do.” Booth
said: "I cannot think so. I rather believe,If It Is so,
Hist good will come of It to the south."
Ilo ssked one of tho young Garretts if ho
heard any of the particulars of tho assanl-
nation, and If there was a reward offered for tho
l«rty doing It. Young Garrett replied that he had
heard that t3:>,000 reward wax offered. Booth re
marked that ho thought that rather a pitiful re
ward for the slayer of the president.
Miss II. says that after Harrold came, ho and
Booth would walk and alt together, aud seemed
very much engaged In conversation. Hhc noticed
that they watched the main road very vigilantly,
and when thsy would ico a dust, as If there was
some one pawing along, they would hurry to the
house and come Inside, but never was the
suspicion of s slnglo member of tho fsmlly
aroused as to their being other than confederate
soldiers trying to get home.
On Wednesday there was a big dust In the road
as If there might be passing bodies of troops.
Booth teemed somewhat excited, and asked one or
the ladles, "Please be so kind as to step up to my
room and get my pistol,” which was hanging on
the head of his bed. She went and brought It to
him, snd in raising his coat to buckle U around hla
waist she noticed that ho bad on three others,
making four, each carrying sis loaded cham
ber*. Jett sod Ruggtes colled this day (Wednes
day), snd Mr. Garrett warned to know when
they were going to take their friend Boyd away.
This they promised to do that afternoou, but they
did not return. They bad quite a lengthy talk
with Booth and llarrold before they left, after
which they both seemed to be uervous and rert<
less.
Night approaching, Booth asked If there was not
a vacant outhouse that he aud his friend could
stay in during the night. This aroused the anxiety
or the family, and Mr. Garrett propounded some
very critical questions, suggerted by this request.
He told them he was aftald there was something
wrong about them and bo had been impuaed upon.
Booth assured him ha was mistaken. They
were gentlemen, and had not done anything
of which they were ashamed. He told them If
they wanted to hide out they had better go to the
woods or down to the marsh. They were the
places for runaway* lie finally consented that
they could stay In an empty tobacco barn about
fifty yards distance from the house, and to this
they repaired. Booth bad tried the day before to
buy the torses of the two young Garretts, but hav
ing no other means of cultivating a crop, they re
futed to sell. Their going to the barn to sleep
aroused tbo apprehension of the two
yourg men, who thought their only object,
that they could i«ssibly see, was to steal
their hone* Ho they locked the tobacco
borne door, tcok the key to the house, gave It to
Mua II. and she hung It on a nail In the mantel
piece of the chamber. The >oung men, arming
themselves, »ecretcd themselves lu another out
house, fronting the barn door, to keep watch over
their horses.
It must ha\e been that at their interview
Jett told Booth and llarrold that they were in
danger, for Jett knew, as will be shown. This is
w hy Booth did not want to remain in the house
with Mr. Garrett’s family.
About oue o'clock that night the squid
cf United States troop*, under command
of Lieutenant Dougherty, arrived at Mr. Garrett’s
They did not wait for the door to be opened, but
knocked itopen and entered Mr. Garrett’s chamber,
where they found bim In bed. They ordered him
ont of ted, allowing him only to put on his pants,
carried him Ip to the yard and fastened him to a
block In his 'half nude condition, and kept him
there tlU 8 * m. From the effects of this exposure
and brutal treatment Mr. Garrett never recovered,
It bringing on disease which brought him to a pre
mature grave. After taking Mr. Garrett to the yard
and making him secure to the block, the bouse was
searched for the objects of their pursuit, and not
finding them they demanded of Mr. Garrett
where the men were he had been harboring. Mr.
Garrett stammered so badly that it would take
him several minutes to articulate a word, and this
very much angered the soldiers, and was the oc
casion of much abuse and ill treatment to Mr.
Garrett. The old gentleman, not being able to tell
them where the men were, one of hla sons coming
up, said: "Father stammers badly. He is trying to
tell you, but cannot talk. If you are after tbe two
men whp have been staying here, I can tell yon.
They are yonder In tbe tobacco house in the loft,
and went there of their own accord for some rea
son last night to sleep.”
They ordered young Garrett to accompany them
to the tobacco home, unlock it and.made him go
up the loft to bring Booth out.
Booth said to Garrett: "Tell them
I shall never surrender to them-th
word surrender is not in my vocabulary.” They
then began to pile pine brush from a turnip patch
near by around the tobacco bouse, threatening to
burn It down wltb tbe two men in It. At this time
Booth came to a crack In tbo bouse
snd said to the men: "Do not burn
down the ham and destroy tbe man 1
property. He Is In no wise responsible or to blame
for my being here. Tbe owner of the property has
no knowledge of me at all-who I amor what
am. You can bum me alive, but 1 will never sur
render." Miss II. said Booth had four pistols aud
could have killed twenty-four
federal!, but said to them: ••Gentlemen,
I will not hurt a hair of your bead, but
If you ate brave men you will give me a chauce
for my life. I will come out If you will give me
ten steps.’’ This being refused, he said: "I will do
It If jou will give me five steps distance, and this
is all tbe chance of my life 1 will ask of you.’ 1
Both propositions were refused. Booth then said;
"There Is a man up here who wants to surrender,
Let him come down before you fire the barn.'
Harrold then went down and surrendered to the
©nicer In charge.
Just after this one of the men put fire to a bundle
of dry bay and threw it into the loft, and this sot fir*
to some loose bay and other combustlblo material
in the loft, and it was by the light of this fire that
Boston Corbett saw Booth through a crack and
fired, his unerring ball striking Booth Just under
tbe left ear, penetrating the neck and coming out
on the right side. Booth fell, and they supposed
him dead, snd they forced one of Garrett's sons to
go up Into the loft, then in a light blase, and bring
Booth out In doing this the young man was ter*
rlbly burned. Booth was taken to the porch of Mr
Garrett's house, supposed to be dead, but was not.
He opened bis eyes snd they proposed to puts pillow
under bis head, bat he said: "No, let me die here,
Just as I lay.” They offered him wine, but he re
fused it. They rent to Tort Royal for s physician,
hoping to revive him. Dr. Urquohort came but he
was too 1st*
After refusing tbe wine- MlrnH. dipped tbe end
r her handkerchief in s goblet
fresh water, put It to his lips. He sucked it, snd
opening his eyes said: "Toll my mother Idled for
my country snd what I thought was best for It”
He lived but a short time. A little struggle, Just
ss he died, threw s lock of his Jet black hair over
his marble white forehead, which Dr. Urqushsrt
clipped off at the request of Miss H, she thinking
It would bo a sweet memento for some friend or
relation of hi* who might in time call to learn
something ol the last scenes In tho life snd death
of J. WUkes Booth, for then she snd
all (he family had learned from
the soldiers thyt It was he. and tho assassin of
ITcsldent Abraham Lincoln.
J. WUkes Booth died on the naked porch floor
of Mr. Richard Henry Gsrrett, of Csrollno county,
Virginia. Lieutenant Baker, of the United Hiatcs
dctcctlro force, who accompanied Lieutenant
Dougherty, commander of tho squad, wrapped tho
body In an old army blanket, and It was placed In
an ox-cart, driven by Fred Freeman, a negro, to
the Rappshaunock river. Its disposition after-
wards, though for a long time, and with many Is
to this day, a mystery, Is well known to tho Uutted
States government aud the family of Mr. Booth.
3Ilit II. informed me. that young Jett lictrayed
the confidence reposed lu him by Harrold In Port
Royal, who told him and Lieutenant Haggles who
Booth was and his secret, and that he placed bim
at Mr. Garrett's In order to get time to inform tho
authorities at Washington of Booth's whereabouts.
This ho did by telegraphing from Milford'i
a station on tho Richmond,Fredericksburg and To-
tomac railroad, twenty miles south of Fredericks
burg, V*. snd while waiting for tho authorities
to capture him, he spent the most of his time iu
Bowling Green, Y*. paying court to hla lady love.
But young Jett never spent a happy day afterward.
He had caused the death of his father's old friend,
Mr. Garrett, from treatment received at the hands
of the federal soldiers: had his two sons imprison
ed tor a year or two, and brought pecuniary
ruin upon the entire family. There
things preyed upon his mind, till reason
was dethroned, and he died early in a lunatic
asylum, coustantly muttering tho prayer while he
lived: "Oh, Mr. Garrett, forgive me for haviugdonc
you so much wrong."
Miss II. says the blood spot where Booth’s head
lay on the i>orch at Mr. Garrett's has been visited
by thousands of curiosity-seekers aud lovers, aud
that a large mm was offered for the plank where
the blood spot was made. t>he gave me a part
of the lock of hair taken from Booth's head
wrapped tn a piece of the block »Uk In which the
hair was wrapped when clipped. She has given
away nearly all of It, and said abe would not dis
pose of any more, as she would like to keep a few
bain as a relic.

tire section of the city and a hundred people
were present. No one, however, touched the
dead man. Errn the wife of Sheppard, who
was present, did not touch him. Sheppard
had been known os a sickly man, and every
one present, with a single exception, believed
that ho died of heart diieaee. No oue had an
idea that lie bad been shot. There
waa no blood on the
floor, and the position in which the dead man
was reclining prevented those about from toe
ing the ugly wound in the back of the head.
Patrolman Moat was aligned to the doty of
maintaining ordar about the building nntil
tbe coroner could arrive. Sheppard's
wife wanted the body removed and wanted to
examine the house, bat Patrolman Most de
clined to allow her to have her wishes grat
ified. She alone of all present believed that
her husband bad been killed and repeatedly
asserted:
"He hat been murdered! I know he has
been murdered!”
Finally, the coroner, who had been notified,
arrived. With bim were tbo county
phyaician and a jury of inquest. Tho jury
waa empaneled and then the body wat re
moved from ita crouching position and laid
upon the floor. Dr. Boring quickly found a
large bullet hole just behind toe loft car and
then after a thorough examination discovered
tho ballet on the right aide of the head Just
under the skin near the tempi* Too bullet
had poised entirely through the head,

and causing initaut death. The body, when
found, was directly under the ahelf on which
the cigara were stored, and from the nature
of the wound it is believed that tbe murderer
walked np to the connter and asked for a
cigar, then, when Sheppard turned to reach
for the cigar* tbe left lido of hla head wot
next to the aosaaain and offered a good spot
for tbe hall which he rent into it with un
erring aim. The jury examined a great many
witnesses, but could ascertain nothing indi
cating who wts guilty of the murder. The
two men who were last with Sheppard testi
fied that they heard the pistol shot, at did a

seen tbe man run away, hut nothing else
could be ascertained. Sheppard’s wife was
present and was placed on the stand. She
gave ber version of the separation aad claimed
that it was her hatband's fault.
111K MONEY NOT CONE.
In the store-room Sheppard kept a trank In
which be deposited hit money. This trank
was securely locked and the lock hal not been
touched, but when the trunk was opened hy
the coroner no money was found in it. In
Sbepperd’t pocket about six dollars were
found. None of the stock had been disturbed
aud if the murderer had done the deed for the
rake of wbat he wou!d get he was frightened
away before getting anything. Shepptrd,
whtnlsst mu alive, had on a heavy over-
cca?. sud when found dead this cost was still
srennd his bodv with a ballet hole throagh
tbe collar. His hat was found in the store
room aud his l ed had not been distarbed.
After the jorv hod declared the death a
illfal murder. Sheppard's wife laid claim to
tbe stock of good?, but Coroner Havaes de
clined to turn it over to her. and as the keys
