At the trial of Mrs * Mary Surratt, in May and June, W865, Spandauer and Louis J. ‘ Weichmann, the latter’s evidence being regarded as corroborated, tes- Gfied that Mrs. Surratt who kept 4 “boarding house at which Wilkes Booth, Harrold Spangler, and other- met, had been trequently in the stoom where the conterences of the ‘conspirators were held and thus con- ected her with the plot. She was 4 djudged guilty by the Military Com- jesion, and her execution took place in the old arsenal at Washington, wee was ; July, 1865.)

He so impressed the old man with his honesty that Muha advanced him $1oo. | Spandauer kept up the bleeding process until he succeeded in getting about $1,500 out of bis vicum. = Mr. Mubla finale ly became convinced that the estate was a myth and pleaded guilty, and ‘was sent to jul tor three years.
