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. * Isn’t that Mrs. Holmes 7 I thought the doctors gave her up.

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.

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.
