be finally successrnlly escaped, after
wounding all three of the parlies
but without effecting his purpose. It
was a deaperato undertaking, and
Payne was certainly endowed with
great determination and courage.
We quote from the Century :
••The assassin left behind him In his
night hi* blood-stained knife, hi* revolver—
or father the fragments of it, for ho hod
beaten it to pieces over tha head of if reU-
erick beware—-and his hat. This last cp"
porently trivial loss cost him and one ot
his fellow-conspirators tht ir lives; for as
toon os he had left the immediate scene oi
bis crime, bis perceptions being qu.ckeucd
by s murderer's avenging fears, it occurred
U> him that Uie lack of a hat would expose
him to suspicion wherever he was seen; so
instead 01 making good bis escape, be
abandoned his h»rao and hid himself for
two days in the woods east of Washington
Driven by hunger be at last resolved tr re
turn to the city, to the bouse on II street
which had been the headquarters ot the
conspiracy. Hu made himself a cap from
the sleeve of hU woolen shirt, threw over
his shoulder a pickax he bud found in it
trench, and coming into town uuder cover
of the darkness knocked about mid
night St Mrs. tturralt’s door. As his
fate would liuvu it, the house was full of
ofllcvra, who had that moment arrested all
the tumults and were about 10 take them
to the otficoot the provost-marshal. Payne
thus fell into the bauds of Justice, and the
utterance nf half a dozen words by him
and the unhappy woman whose shelter he
bad sought was the death wariant of both.
Being asked by Major Smith to give an ac
count ol himself, he said he had been hired
by Mrs. Surratt to dig a drain for her.
8ha was called out and asked if she knew
him. Not being aware of what lie had
said, sbo raised her right hand, with un
called-for solemnity, and said, “ Before

Booth and Urtold both sc. ami to be the

the oue on his wouuded eg was cutoff,
aud hia weapons were a carbine, two ic-
volvt-ra and a knife, the blade nt lee latter

had wounded Major Balbboue. 1 noticed
that h b wounded leg wus greatly swollen
inhumed, aud dark, as trout bruite-t blood

board rudely tied about it. That he sul-

told me 1 hut he- had left Liootb at Gamut's
fcbucc, thrm units from Pon Conway, the
evening before, a- d shat lifiold bat! ce-aie
to Bowling Gicen win* him, «ud returned
that morning. I had Jell's ho.'sn tske-n
from the stable, and, pl.tcing a guard over
irni, we it-'laced our stops towards G<tr-
reu’*.
L’pon reaching Garrett’s orc'-.ard fence I
hailed, and in company with Ih-iiins and
the detectives, took « survey of the orem-
ises. I had tne lecce taken down. L told
off six men, gave o.tt the c-iuuti rsign < f

When the ca’.v.ii-y passed the previous af
ternoon. Wlide I wub spi-iiking with li.tn,
some of the men hud entered the house to
st-aicb if. Soon one of the soldiers sang
out, **0 Lieutenant! I have a in sn hens I
found ia the corn-crib" It v as .\otsng
Garrett, and I demanded the.whertubrmto
of the fugitives. He replied, Tn the
b,-rm” Leaving a tew men iVioend the
house, we proceeded to the bafe, wb cli
li-red intense patu all the lime llieio was | we surrounded. I k-cked «u Ibe door of
God, I do not know him, uever saw him,
and uever hired him." These words, the
evidence of a guilty secret shared betwero
thorn, started a train of evidence which led
them both to the scaffold.
"Booth was recognized bydoz nsol
people as he stood before the footlights and
brandished bis dripping dagger in u Brutus
attitude.- Hia swift horse quickly carried
him beyond Ibe reach ol any haphazard
pursuit. He gnmed the-navy yard bridge
in a few minutes, was bailed by a sentry,
but persuaded the sergeant of the guard
that he was returning to his home k,
Charles c ouuty and (that he had waited in
Washington till the moon should rise. Ho
was allowed to pass, and shortly afterwards
llerold came to the bridge and passed over
with similar explanations. The assassin
and hia wretched acolyte came at midnight
to Mrs. Surratt’s tavsrn. Booth, whose
broken leg was by this time giving him
excruciating torture, remained outside on
his horse, and Herold went in, shouting to
the iun-keeper to give him ’ those things.’
Lloyd, knowing what was meant, without
a word brought the whisky, carbines and
field-glass which the Sarr-dts had depos
ited there. Herold told Lloyd they had
killed the President, and ibev rode away,
leaving Lloyd, who was a sodden drunk
ard mod contrabandist, unnerved by the
news and by his muddy perception of his
own complicity in the crime. He held bis
tongue for a day or two; but at lost over
come by fear, told qjl that he knew to the
authorities. Booth and Herold pushed on
through the moonlight to the Loose of an
acquaintance of Booth, a surgeon named
Samuel Mudd. Tbe pain 'of his broken
bone had become intolerable and day was
approaching; aid and shelter had become
pleasingly necessary. Mudd received them
kindly, set Booth’s leg, and gave him a
room where he rested until the middle of
the afternoon; Mudd had a crutch made
for him, and in tbe evening sent them od
their desolate way to the South.
** After parting with Dr. Mudd, he and
Herold went to the residence of Samuel
r*r Cox, near Port Tobacco, and were given
by him into the charge of Thomas Jones,
a contraband trader between Maryland and
Richmond. He kept Booth and Herold in
biding at the pen! of his own life, for more
than a week, feeding and caring for them
In tbe woods near his house, watching for
an opportunity to ferry them across the
Potomac. He did this while every wood-
path was haunted by Government detec
tives, while his own neighborhood was un
der strong suspicion, knowing that death
would promptly follow his own detection,
and that a reward was offered for the cap
ture of bis hiipless charge which would
make a rich mm of any one wbo'gave him
tup. So clone was the search that Herold
killed the hones on which they had ridden
not of Washington, for fear a nel&h might
betray them."
Major M. B. Buggies, of Mosby’s
command, gives the following ac-
cooiit- of tbe adventures of Booth
after escaping from cue Potomac
swamps. It will be seen that Major
Buggies refutes the claims of Boston
Corbett that he fired the bullet that

iug in this bed elded at the lust moment
us i. were, ;o strike deadly blows at Mr.
Lincoln, Mr. Seward,anu General Gran;.
In the plot to kill, Payne alone was im
plicated wiili h;m, not even Herold kuow-
mg what was to he dcue. Atzerotd Kin-w
nothing of the intended assissraulien, tor
did, according to Booth’s statement 10 n.>;

hy the fact that Fre idi-nt Liucolu and
G< ner.J Grant were to attend the theatre
together,was to kill both of them. Gen

alouebaved bie own life, for, said Booth,
•'I would have made no failure with either
as 1 had laid my plaus for success on y. ’
That Andrew Johns'.n might appear to be,
implicated in the plot of assassination'
Booth said he had left that morning a uote j
at the hotel where \Jie Vic* -Presifient'liv- J
ed, to compromise him. He bad no idea,
be said, Loin toe information receiveu
abou; Washington, that the wur had leaily
ended; lor had he nut believed that it
would have bet J kept up by the South, he
would not have struck the blow as he did.
After getting safety out of Washington,
hie intention was to cross the ii-je, e*
quickly as possible, into ’‘te Corfederacy.
Joining Herald at a rendtztfous, they had
ridden bard through tbe uigbt to 2uin a
place of safety; but having a broken leg.
and learning after sever.il days, through
toe papers, tout the wa- was ieai:y at an
end, he determined to make Ins way to the
stiver mines of Mexico, teeling that the
South would be no place of ret uge for him.
it has been said that Both had plen y 01
money with him; but he showed me Hi roe
five dollar bills, ali that he had, excepting
a kill of exchange; while Herold had cot as
much. I asked him why he did not ni-
to Europe, and (his arswer was that
there was no asylum for such as he where
moaarebs ruled, as tbeyfearei thtir own
lives m ght he in danger trom Urn exam
ple he had set.
It is generally believed that Herold shot
his own Booth’s horse; but Booth told me
that after weighting them down, they let!
them into the Potomac the night they em
barked in the boat to cross, and drawing
their heads over the gunwale cut their
throats aud saw them sink from sight.
From tbe examination that I made of
bis broken leg, aided by some expeiier.ee 1
bod bad with wounds, I feel confident that
amputation would have b. cn necessaay to
save bis life, and perhaps that would not
have prevented a speedy death.
Soon after mj long conversation with
'Booth, Bainbrtdge and myself bade bint
aid Bvrold good-by and went on our way,
remaining that night in toe pices, aud nex
day goiog to R .bo’s, where we learned that
a compsuy of United Stitts cavalry were
scouring the country and had captured the
fugitives in Garrett s barn. Knowing to-
barn web, end judging from *U the cii-
cunjatmicts conn cud wife tbe burniug ot
it, I feel convinced that Sergeant Boston
C *bi tt has a reputation uudirsived as the
slayer of Mr. Lincoln's ass .s ia. From the
spot where SeTseaot Corbett was he could
not Hive seen Booth where he stood, and
certs ir ly could not have been able to shoot
him iv the back of the bead. Having ask
ed Capt. Doherty to fall back fifty paces
wilb his men and give him a chance to
come out, and very properly and naturally
being refused his rrqfirA by Hurt gallant
officer, decried hy Herold, tbe barn on fire,
aud seeing that be must perish in the
taken to Washington »nd
hopeless, alone, and st bay,
I to tbe bock of bis bead,
the barn several times wi'hout receiving a
reply. Meantime, another son nf Garrett’s
bad been captured. The barn wits secured
with a padloc k, H.id young Garrett carried
the key. I unlocked the door, and again
summoned the inmates of toe building to
surrender. After some-. delay, Booth
said, “For whom do you take.me?” 1 re
plied, ‘ U deesa’t make any d.ffeiunee.
Gome out.” He said, “I urn a cripple and
a ont.” 1 said, "I know who is witu you,
and yon tuid belie, sur.eodor.” Ha replied,
“I utay be taken by luy friends, but r.oi by
my foes.” I said, Tf you don't come obt,
I'll burn the buildin;;.!' I directed a cor
poral 10 pile up s.-uiu Lay in a entekr in the
wall of the barn; aud set lb- building on
fire. As the corporal wiU pirt-ing.up the
hay and biusb,Booth said, “If yen come
back here, 1 will put a bullet torough you."
I then motioned to the connirai to desist,
aud decided to watt for daylight, and the
to enter toe;barn by both doors and o.-e
power the assas ins. Booth thtii said,’in a
drawling voice, "O Capt.-dri! tUe.-o is i-
man in here who wants to hu:.toiler awful
b-td.” I replied, “You had beder fellow
his ex>-nipie-ii' ' come oui.' Hi, answer
was, “No, l have not iii'-.d'j up my mi :d;
but draw your men tip fifty p ees oil, asnt
give me a cliat.ce forme life. 5 told liitr*
1 had not c unt tight; that l t.td fifty
men, and could ii-ke him. Then he said,
“Weil, my brave boys, prepare me a
stretcher, and p' -ce another stein on onr
glorious banner-'’
At tins moment, Herold readied the
door. I asked him to hand out his aims;
he replied that lie bad none. 1 told him 1
knew exactly what weapons he had. Booth
replied, “1 own ail toe it .up, red may
liAve iolise I hem on yon, genilcmeu.’' I
then said to Herold, -‘Lot me roe your
hands." He put them, tn >U"h the partly
opened door, and 1 seized him by tbe
wr-sta. I handed bi.nover So n non-com
missioned officer. Just at tins moment, 1
heard tr shot, ifnd thought Booth had shot
hints if. Throwing open the door, I saw
that tho straw and hay behind Booth wetc
on fire. He wt-> half-turning towards it.
