——_ i SEER EER THE EVENING STAR. | ARREST OF THE SUBRATT FAMILY: Colonel Welle, Provost Marshai General of | this Department, was pursuing investigation | unto the recent assassinations. He had decided | to arrest Mrs. Surratt, who resides in this city, at No 541 H street, but subsequently decided to arrest the whole family, including her daugh- te, two young ladies, whom she calls her and two colored servants. Col. H. S. Alcott, Special Commissioner of the War De- partment, was called upon for the requisite | forces, and he detailed his Deputy R. C. Mor- | gan, Esq., with Officers Sampson. Devoe. Mer- merskirch and Sasch, of the New York detec- | sive force, who, with Major Smith, Assisiant Adjutant on Gen. Augar's Staff, preceeded to the house about 11 o’clock. Major Smith proceeded up the sone Soe the house being a three story brick, wi i *, oman raised a win- | Stoop, and rapped. A women oy | Gow. and asked, whols there’ Thereply was, | «]’m an officer; let me in. The door was opened and the Major entered. Immediately after the rest of the party entered one by one, Buti] all were in. The purpose of the visit was announced and the inmates seemed some- what surprised, the daughter especially being frightened, but the mother took it calmly as | though she had been expecting tt. They were all assembled in the parlor, and got alMmwed to communicate with each other | while the officers hunted up the bonnets, shawts and sboes of the ladies, preparatory to | g them to Colcnel Ingranam’s office. | ok Some little time, daring which Miss | Kate Surratt broke out into sobs, seeming deeply affected, while her mother chided her for euch an exhibition of her feelings Just as the ladies were ready to proceed, | Jevyoe having bronght up & carriage, a | Joud rap was heard atthe door. Mr. Morgan stepped into the ball, followed by Major { Smith and officer Mermerskirch, who were | each armed with a pistol. Morgan opened the | door, ® man stepped in and the door wasat | once locked by Morgan, who handed the key to Mernterskirch. The man seemed rather sur- rised, and said, “] guess I’ve madea mistake.” Waen asked what he wanted, he said he was | Jooking for Mrs. Surra‘t. He was assured | that he had made no mistaxe, and was told to | 8st down in the parior. | The women being now ready to depart, they | were at once patin the carriage, with officer Devoe, who conducted them to the office of | the Provost Marshal, whence they were sub- sequently sent to the Old Capitol Prison. The man who thue had entered the house bore evidence at once of havirg a partial disguise. | He had a heavy pickaxe on his shoulder, wore | & cap made from the bottom part of the leg of | Apair of drawers, which fitted closely to his | head, and hung down behind, gray coat and | vest, black or dark celored pants, @ light pair | ef boots. Both seots and pants were com- letely covered with mud up to his knees. When he sat down he was asked by Morgan: | “Whoere yeu’ What do you want here at | this ie of night!’ He pulied out of his { pocket « copy of the oath of Allegiance, Co | said. op, | will show you who, I am,” fe- Marking that he got it in Baltimoré last June. Un examination it proved to be an oath of al- jegiance administered to Louis Paine, of Fau- quier connty, Virginia, dated Baltimore, March 14, is65. He was farther interrogated by Mr. | Morgan &s to his business at the house at tnat | time of night with a pickaxe on hie shoulder. | He said be had cometo dig agutter for Mrs. | Surratt, and wanted to know what time he should begin in the morning. He also stated tat be was but twenty years old; that he had uO money, @nd that he obtained his living by Working as a laborer with that pickaxe, to Which be seemed to cling with peculiar tena- «ity. He stated he could neither read nor | write; that ne had been obliged to work on his father’s farm in Fauquier county for a living forthe last four years,and could not go to school; that he was down on the Rebels, and much more of the same kind ofstuff, which only convinced the officers that they were in the presence of a party connected with the murderous assault on Mr. Seward. | He was subsequently interrogated by Major | Smith and officers Sampson and Mermer- | akirch, to whom he made various replies,some of them conflicting with the stories he had | told Morgan.’ When asked where he intended | to sleep that night, he said he did not know, as | be had no money, and the night before hehad | e | | | | 3] os on the railroad track he man was conducted tothe carriage by officer Sampson, who took him to General Au- gur’s office, where he underwent a search and Another examination, and $25 in money was discovered on his person also a pocket com- pass, with a comb and brush, and several mi- | nor articles. Here he told other storiesas to Bis whereabouts for the last three days, and &s to his means of support. A close examination and scrutiny of his per- Son revealed aman of good physique, about | twenty-five years of age, six feet high, very | good form, dark, rich black hair, light com- plexion, and a refinement of person which | aye the lie to his protessions of hard labor. | fie dress was much soiled, from evident exe | posure, but was of very good material. Had Be been really well dressed he would have | presented the appearance of astylish gentle- | man. The colored servant who admittedthe mar- derer to Mr. Seward’s on Friday night was now fentior. The room was darkened; when he came im the gas was turned on, when the boy was told to pr outtheman. As -oon as his eyes fell on the prisoner he threw up his 2 and exclaimed, ‘‘Lhere he is; I know I don’t want to see him no more.” The enly impression produced upon the man by this developement was an apparent nervous- ness, but otherwise he seemed to master his feelings completely. i Without further conversation, at about 4 o'clock a.m. he was heavily ironed and sent off toa safe spot, where he can never escape from his captors and where public violence | cannot reach him. { While Mr. Morgan was interrogating Paine at the house, Major Smith and officer Samp- | son were instituting a search of the dwelling, | which was continued by Smith, Morgan and Mermerskirch after the departure of efficer | Sampson with the prisoner. Much evidence was found showing it to have been a regular treason-brewing nest. Letters were found containing expressions of diabolical hate to- | ward the President, and in Miss Kate Saratt’s portioho Major Smith found an envelope ad- | Gressed to J. Wilkes Booth, National Hotel. A card, about half as large again as a playing | card, was found, which was certainly em- | blematical of the hate which Secessionists have | fostered toward the President. On the top | was this line: “Thus will it ever be with tyrants.” | Their shield in the color of red, white and red, and the orginal thirteen States. This wassur- | Mounted with the emall Rebel flags, between | which was the State coat-of-arms of Virginia, | With the motto, “Sic Semper Tyrannis.” Be- neath this, in large red letters, ‘Virginia, the | Mighty,’ and at the bottom of the card, in cir- | cular shape, another copy of Virginia’s coat- | of-arms and motto. The house was toundina very disordered | condition, the beds all unmade, the clothes | piled on chairs, and everything in contusion, | showing very piainly that the inmates had | other business on hand than the usual pusi- , ness of housekeeping. Two colored servants, | aman and a girl—the firstof whom was found | sleeping on the hack parlor floor—were also | apprehended and locked up.— Washington cor- | respondence N. ¥. Times.
