BEE OUTSIDE FOR INTERESTING TELE- G@EAPHIO AND OTHER MATTER, THE GREAT CONSPIRACY. THE TRIAL. Proceedings To-Day- At ten o'clock this morning the prisoners ‘were brought into Court and were placed in the same relative positions occupied by them yes- terday Arnold, as usual, heads the line as they enter the room and file along the long, narrow walk of their docx. Thus he occupies the desirable seat at the end of the bench near the open (but grated) window. The factthat the evidence thus farhas borne on him less heavily than on most of his fellows seems to give him con- fidence, and he occupies much of his time gazing out the windowor in stubblinganewly turned out mustache with hisletthand. Mudd ‘wears a white handkerchief loosely about his neck, as if to protect his throat from any pos- sible draught. The other prisoners either think their throats hardly worth saving, or in in- stinctive dread of any suggestion of pressure thereon go collariess and cr:vatless. Mrs. Surratt, with the exception of & period | spent in conversation with her counsel, Mr. Aiken, rests her head in her hands, with eyes closed, anda seems to suffer from the heat, fanning herselt with a newspaper. O’Laugh- Jin, dressed in deep black, cushions his man- acled hands upon a silk handkerchief, placed upon his knee. His name was involved in much of the evidence yesterday, it will be re- membered. It has been stated that he volun- tarily surrendered himeelf to the authorities after the assassination, but this is a mistake, He was arrested on Hillen street, Baltimore, by Detectrye W. E. Wallis, of Marshal Car- michael's force, w ho delivered him to the au- thorities here. O’Laughiin is the son of a worthy black- | smith of Baltimore, who is stated to be a staunch Union man. O’Lauzhliu and two of his brothers have been in the rebel army, from which Michael returned about six months ago; but he never reported to the authorities or took the oath of allegiance, so far as is known, ‘The other members of the family are said to have been hard-working people; but Michael, ‘who was extremely fond of dress, would work not more than three days per week, and sinking the shop in the intervals, was in the habit of spending his time promenading the streets, clad-in his best. Arnold (whose full name is Samuel A. Ar- mold) is the soa of the baker Arnold, who keeps now, or formerly kept an establish. ment at the corner of Liberty and Fayette streets, Baltimore. The father has been known as apronounced Unionman. Young Arneld (the prisoner) was in the rebel army but re- turned home and took ‘he oath of allegiance. Among the visitors in the Court Room yes. terday were Bishop Simpson, of the Methodist Church, with several other Ministers, Bishop Mclivaine, of the Episcopal Church, Brigadier General Ewing and Major Hay, Mr. Lincoin’s Secretary. TRis morning Hon. Solomon Foote, of Ver- mont, and Judge Watts, of New Mexico, Hon. Ben Wade, of Ohio, Colonel Markland of the Post Office Department, were among those present. A registry is made at the dooreach day of all persons admitted on passes. Opening ef the Court. After the prisoners Had been placed in the dock, the Court was called to order by Major General Hunter, all the members answering to their names. The reading of yesterday’s proceedings were then entered upon by Mr. Murphy, but were suspended by the Uourt to afford one of the prisoners (Herold) an oppor- tunity to leave the room temporarily. On his return the reading was again proceed with.

New York, May 17.—The steamer Nightin- gale brings Havana dates to the lith, and Key ‘West on the 13th. The rebel ram Stonewall arrived at Havana on the 1ith. It was said the Goverament ‘would not be sllowed to discharge or take on board any men or ammunition, and Suly, suffi- cient coal to take her to sea, and that if the Captain General had orders to that effect he would willingly. No report of her having destroyed any vessels en her way te Havana ‘was reported.

She was thought to be the Imogene. ———__+<02 -__. Financial. [From the N. Y. Commercial, May 16.) Gold is steady at about yesterday’s quota- tions. The speculative operations are merely nominal. The money market shows a complete recov- ery of the late ease. The large disbursements of the Treasury compensate for the extraordi- nary subscriptions to the Seven-thirty loan The amount of funds in the hands of money brokers is unusually large, and large sums are held by them, which it is found impossible to lend for street purposes. The general rate on callis 5 per cent, with exceptions at both 4 and 6 percent. The demand tor commercial paper is active. but the supply merely ‘tominal, ‘The rates of discount range from 6a9 per cent. The demand for exchanges for to-morrow’s steamer is moderately active. The leading drawers are asking 110 for sixty days’ sterling, and the continued scarcity of commercial bids enables them to realize that rate. Governments are quiet. There is a partial lull in the excitement of the Seven- thirty loan. The disposition to sell the gold-interest bonds is less apparent than yesterday. Those most familiar with the condition of the European market, express confidence that prices there for Five-twenties will advance materially, and predict fresh orders from London and Frankfort. The New York Post says: It isrumored that the Secretary ofthe Treas- ury is about to make considerable drafts on the national banks, and as these institutions hold a large amount of Government funds, occ is some foundation for the statements made. For the unpaid requisitions of contractors, the necessary payments to the army, and the claims of railroad companies and other creditors of the National Treasury are press- ing, and the necessity for their liquidation is paramount. But we are assured on competent authority that these payments will be so widely distrib- uted, and the drafts on the banks so cautiously adjusted that the money market shall be little if at all disturbed.

New Evidence. ees HEROLD’S AVOWALS. —_——— HE BOASTS OF THE ASSASSINATION OF THE PRESIDENT. Te Upon the conclusion of the reading of the testimony, at half-past 12 p. m.,— Gen. Harris arose and said that as he had objected to the Hon. Reverdy Johnson appear- img as counsel for reasons which he had deemed well founded, he felt it to be his duty to himself and to Mr. Johnson to ask thata letter he held in his hand, written by Mr. John- son, be made a part of the record of the Court. The Court suggested that the letter be read, and thereupon Mr. Ben. Pitman proceeded to read from a printed copy the letter of Reverdy Jebnson, under date of Baltimore, Oct. 7, 1961, in regard to the propriety of taking the oath under the new constitution. President Hunter said the Commission had decided to make the letter a part of the record. WILLram WILLIAMS was the first witness sworn:—After the assassination witness was engaged in the pursuit of the assassins, and went to the residence of Dr. Mudd. This was on Tueeday, the iSth. Dr. Mudd was not at home. Mrs. Mudd said she would send for him. When Dr. Mudd came he said no person bad been staying there. He denied altogether that there had been any strangers there. One of the other officers asked Mudd it two men had been there, one with a broken leg. Mudd made some reply, witness is not positive what. Mudd stated, witness thinks, that he heard of the assassination at church Sunday mora- ing. Mudd seemed uneasy, and not willing to give information without being asked. The second time witness went to Mudd’s was on Friday, the iSth. Mudd was not at home, his wife said, but in the neighborhood, and she would cend for him. When he came, witness asked him if two men had been there, one with a broken leg. Mudd then said there had. Mudd denied that Booth and Herold had been at his house. Mudd said he knew Booth; that he had been introduced to him last fall by a man named Thompson, and that the person there was not Booth. On the way to Bryantown a picture of Booth was shown to Mudd, and at firsthe said it did not look like Booth, but afterwards he said it looked some like him across the eyes. At the heuse on the second visit Mrs. Mudd said— Mr. Ewing objected to the witness testifying as to what Mrs. Mudd said. The Court decided that what Mrs. Mudd said in the presence of her husband could be intro- duced. The witness proceeded. Mrs. Mudd said that one of the men left a boot in his bed up stairs. She went up and brought the boot down. It wasariding boot and had the makers name and Broadway, New York, together with the words «J. Wilkes.” Mudd said he had set Booth’s leg and that Booth left about 3 or 4 o’clock Saturday after- noon. Tne men arrived there befcre daybreak hesasid. Mudderaid the men went away on horseback. Mrs. Mudd said they went away on foot. She said this in Dludd's presence. Witness believes that Dr. Mudd at one time said that the injured man went away with crutches he had had made for him. Cross-examined by Mr. Stone:—When the party were at Mudd’s on Friday, Mudd’s wife said that a boot had been left tn the bed, when they proposed to search the house, Mudd told him on Friday that the first intor- mation he had of the assassination was on Sunday,atchurch, Witness and Lieut. Lovett both got the eame reply, on the Tuesday they were at the house, when they asked Mudd if the two mer (Booth and Herold) had been there, that “they had not.” On Friday wit- ness asked if two men had not been to his house, one with a broken leg, when Mudd replied that they had. Dr. Mudd further stated that two men came to the house about daybreak and knocked at the door, when he went down and the injured man was brovghtin, when he set the leg. He (Mudd) said the injured man had whiskers and wore asbhawl, and thatthe young man was about 17 or 18 years ofage. He did not know whether. the whiskers on him were false. Mudd said that the mem had asked the road to Parson Wilmer’s, and he showed them the road across the swamp, one on horseback and the other on erutches, which he had had made for him. Witness saw some horses’ tracks on the read. Witness followed the road that Dr. Mudd pointed out on Tuesday, and went over the swamp. Witness wasone of the party who went to Rey. Mr. Wilmer’s house and got there either on Tuesday or Thursday, or Wednesday evening. Witness did not hear anything of them on the road. This was before Dr. Mudd was carried to Bryantown. Witness and Lloyd were acting under the military an- thorities, and in Major O’Beirne's absence he ‘was under the orders of Lieut. Lovett. At one o’clock the Commission took a recess until two o'clock. Attwoo'clock the Commission reassembled, and— Simow GAVACAN was called to the stand.— Witness knows Dr. Mudd, and was at his house on the Tuesday succeeding the assassination, and made inquiries if any two persons passed en Saturday morning. They asked if any one bad come past, one with a fractured leg, when Mudd answered in the affirmative. He (M.) heiped the injured maninthehouse. Hestated that they remained until the afternoon, and then left, going towards Rev. Dr. Wilmer’s» the Doctor goirg part of the road. Mudd de- nied on Tuesday that he knew theparties. Oa Friday witness went with others to arres; Dr. Mudd, when be stated that he thought it was Booth who was at the house. They were about to search the house, when Mrs: Mudd threw a boot down stairs, on the lining ot which were the words “J. Wilkes.” Dr. Mudd stated that the man who was there had whiskers. Mudd said that he had been intro- duced to Booth last fall, but did not identify him. Cross-examined by Mr. Stone:—-Mudd did no; Point out the road, but said the parties left for Dr. Wilmer’s. Mudd was shown aphotograph of Booth, and said that it was not of either of the persons who stopped at his house, although there were some resemblance about the fore- head to one of them, ANNA OrFUT sworn:—Witness is the sister- in-law of John M: Lloyd, and on the 11th day of April, when riding in the carriage with him) they met Mrs. Surratt in Uniontown, when Mr. Lloyd got out and went to the. carriage, where & conversation ensued. Mrs. Surratt and Lloyd also bad 4 conversation in the yard on the 14th of April, but witness did not learn what either conversation was about. By Mr Aiken:—Witness had had a short conversation with Mrs. Surratt before Mr. Lioyd arrived. Q. Did you at any time hear any conyersa- tion between Mre. Surratt and Lloyd about shooting irons? Objected to, and the objection was sus- tained. Witug 8S. JatT sworn:—Withess, after looking at the prisoners, recognized Herold. ‘Witness has been in the rebelarmy as commis. sary agent in Oasrojine county, and on Mon- gay, the 18th of April, saw a wagon near Port Conway and went down towards it, As they neared the carriage witness saw Herold put his hand in bis pocket,and witness asked where they were going. Herold said bis brotber had been wounded. The wounded man got out on the wharf. Herold called ont to witness and said that be supposed that they were rateing a | command to go South. Herold then said, «We are the assassins of the President. Booth me up and Herold introduced him as his brother, under the name of Boyd, and they crosted the’Fiver Witness and his compan- ions with Herold, wenton to Bowling Green, lea ving Booth on the way at Garretts, to whose house Herold returned the next day. Witness &nd bis companions were dressed in gray, and of coufse Herold must have known who they re. By Mr. Stone:—Herold did not say that he ‘was the assassin, but that ‘“‘we are the as- easeins,” and pointing to Booth he said, Yonder is the man who killed the President." Herold appeared to be much excited at the time. Colonel McCoxLey sworn:—Witness with others engaged in the pursuit of the assas- sing. Witness met Jett at the hotel in Bowling Green. Witness went into a room and found some men in bed, one of whom was Jett, and asked them where are thetwo mem. He said to witness “Wan I see yor alone.” Witness replied in the affirmative, and sent the others out, and then Jett said they were back on the road to Port Royal, and witness told him to get ready and go back with them Witness went back with the cavalry, Jett going with them. They surrounded the house, and witness went to the house, where he found anold man. The old man was asked where the men were, and answered that they had gone to the woods, and witness called for 4 rope. One of the younger Garretts came out and said that they were in the barn. The younger Garrett was sent in first to get their arms, and came out saying they threatened to shoot, Witness then directed Lieutenant Baker to demand of them to give up their arms and come out. Booth asked, “Who are you, and what do you want?” After waiting a while the demand was again made, when he replied, “Who are you; perhaps I am to be taken by my friends.” During the conversation Booth said, «You are brave boys, but give me a chance for my lile; give me a hundred yards.” One of the Gar- retts was directed to pile up brush, and after he bad piled up some he came back, saying that the man in the barn was about to shoot him. After a while there was 4 voice, ‘“‘There’s aman im here whe wants to come out,” and Heroid came and put his arms out as directed. Witness, after pulling out the straw and setting fire to the barn, looked in and sew Booth looking at the fire. Witmess keard Booth’s crutch fall, and saw him start towards the door, and witness ran around the opposite side, when he heard a report, and when witness went to the door and saw Booth, witness supposed that he had shot himself. Atter he was shot, Booth said, «Tell mother that I diefor my country.” Witness left the body and the prisoner Herold in charge of Lt. Baker. Witness here identified the belt, pistol, knife and carbine taken from Booth, as also the cartridges and a file and spur as being similar to those found on Booth. Witness also identi- fied bills of exchange found on Booth on the Ontario Bank, one of which was numbered 1,492 for 61 pounds 12 shilling and 6 pence, dated Montreal, October 27th, payable to the order of J. Wilkes Booth, drawn on Glinn, Mille & Co., London. Witness took from the pocket of Herold a smail piece of the map of the State of Virginia. The piece covered Chesa- peake bay and that portion of Virginia known as the Northern neck. It was part of an old school map originally sixteen inches square, (Witness here exhibited the fragment of the map.) Witness examined a pocket-book and identified it as having been taken from Booth's pocket. By Mr. Stone:— Booth walked hastily to Herold when he (Herold) proposed to come ont. It was about two o’clock when they got to the barn and Booth was shot about fifteen minutes past three o’clock. Witness has an indistinct impression that he heard Booth say: «Here's a man in here who wants to come out,” and wit- ness thinks he added «who has nothing to do with it.’ Witness has seen Booth before and is satisfied that he is the same man. Sergeant Boston CORBETT was here put on the etand. He came up with smiling face and hair parted smoothly straight up the middle, as noticedin printsof him. On being sworn he responded “1 solemnly swear,” and pro- ceeded to narrate the story of the capture and death of Booth with a yolubility indicating that it was one he had been called upon many umes already to relate. Sznceant BosTox CorBrrr:—Witness was of the party who captured Booth. As they approached the house Lieut. Dougherty or- dered him to deploy around the house, but when it was found that Booth and Heroid were not in the house, they were ordered to de- ploy around the barn—a small guard being left at the house. At one time Booth said, «Well, braye boys, bring @ stretcher for me,” and at another he said, ‘‘Captain, make short work of it, shoot me through the heart” Heard Herold whispering to Booth, and Booth cry out “Cap, here's a man who wants tocome out.” Booth said “This man is innocent.” Booth remarked that he could pick three of four men off. After the fire was ligh‘ed they could see Booth coming towards them. He final- ly went out towards the door and madea move- ment which drew his fire. As long as Booth made no movement witness held his fire- Witness was satisfied thatit was Booth (al- though he had never saw him before) by hia desperate talk and actions. No other man would have acted ashe. Asimproper motives had been attributed to him in connection with shooting Booth, he would say thathe offered twice to go in the barn and capture Booth thinking it less dangerous than to wait outside. It was not fear that lead him to shoot, but the impression that the time had come; that Booth was about making a desperate attempt to es- cape. Joun FLETcHER sworn :—Witness is fore- man at Nailor’s stable, and knows Atzerodt» who hesaw onthe 3dof April with another son. They had two horses with them and they stated they wanted to put up their horses. The man with Atzerodt said he was going to Philadelphia, but witmess had not seen him since. One of the horses Atzerodt sold, but on the 12th tookaway the other horse which was & roan,and returned on the 14th with abay mare. After witness came from supper the colored boys had the mare out, and Atze- rodt took it eff. In about three-quarters of an hour he returned, and the horse was pat up until 10 o'clock, he directing that the horse sbould be ready at that time. Witness went down with Atzerodt and took a drink, and Atzerodt said, “If this thing happens to- night you'll hear of & present.” Witness thought Atzerodt was in liquor, and did kot pay much Attention to what he said. Atzerodt came at the time he said, (after ten.) Witness proceeded in rather involved style to narrate the particulars of his following Atze- rodt and afterwards Herold through the streets of the city, and to the Navy Yard bridge. TELEGRAPHIC NEWS.
