ATZERUDT’S COMPLICITY. ——-— Our report closed yesterday with John Fletcher, foreman of Nailor’s Livery stable, on the stand. He knew the prisoner Atgerodt. Saw him abont the 3d of April Iast. He came to the stable at that time between 6 and? o'clock with another gentleman and two horses; they said they wauted to put up their horses there; tne other gentleman who was with Atzerodt told me he was going to Philadelphia, and that he would leave these horses in Atzerodi's care to sell; 1 have never seen that man since; we kept the horses at the stable, and sold one of them to Mr. Thompson, a stage contractor; we kept the brown horse at the stable untli the 12th of the month, when Atzerodt took him away; f did not see him again until 1 o'clock on the 1th of April: he came in then with a dark bay mare; 1 asked him what did he do with the roan horse; nesaid he sold itin Mont- gomery county, and that he had bought this mare, saddle and bridle; he wished me to put up}the mare, which 1 did. The horse he eaid he had sold; was a very heavy, common, work- borse, blind in one eye; a dark brown horse, & heavy main and tall; very heavy feet: 1 went to supper at half past six o'clock, on the 14th, and whenI came back the colorea boy had the mare suddled and bridled; he paid the colored boy 50 cents for the keeping, and said, «Was that right!” I said, ‘*Yes;” he asked how much I would charge if hestayed till morn- ing; I said 50 cents more;he went out and stayed three. juarters of an hour,and returned ‘with the mare; he told me not to take the sad- dle and bridle off the mare, and asked I could keep the stable open for him until 10 o'clock: I told him, “Yes;I would be there myself.” at 10 o’clock he came after the mare, he asked me if I would have a drink with bim; I told him I had uo objections; we went down tothe Union Hotel, comer of Thirteen-and-a halfstreetand E, and tooke drink; we re- turned to the stable, and he said to me: “It this thing happens te- night, you will hear ofa pres- ent; “it seemed to me he was about half tight, and I paid no attention to him; he mounted the mare; I remarked that I would not like to mde that mare, that she looked too skittisn-like; he said: «She is good upon a retreat; I spoke to him of the other man, meaning Herold, staying out very late with the other horse; ‘-Ob,” he says, «he will be back after awhile:” I watched him until he went down E street, past Thirteen- and-a-half; and I followed him down until I saw him go into the Kirkwood House. I wacched him until he came out, mounted the mare again, went along D street, and turned up Tenth street, when I returned to the stable again; I did not go to the office; I was thinking about his living so far off, and of the horse Herold had. { had suspicions that he was not going to bring the horse back; I went across E street again, went up Fourteenth street, and came on Pennsylvania avyenne again toward Willard’s; I saw Herold riding tne horse I hired him; the horse was going toward the stable; I started toward him to take the horse from him; I suspect that he saw me by the gas- light, and knew me, for he to Move the horse away 8 little; I sald: «You get off that horse, now; you have had that Norse long enough;” he spurs into the horse, and went up Fourteenth street; I kept sight of him until he had gone up Fourteenth street as faras F: I then returned to the stable; saddled a horse for myself; I went along the avenue, passed down E street, and turned down Ninth to Pennsy}- yania avenue again; I went along the avenue, and passed the south side of the Capitol; I met a gentleman, and asked him did he see Any man riding on borseback; he told me yes, he saw two; that they were going wery fast; I followed oa till 1 came to the Navy Yard bridge; the guard there halted me and called the sergeant of the guard; I asked bim if this man had passed, giv’ @ descrip- tion of the man, horse, saddle. and bridle; he said yee, he had gone across the bridge; that he waited a little for an acquaintance, bat after a while went on, that another came up riding a bay horse; I asked him if the first one gave bis name; he said, * Yes, Smith;” I asked the eer- geant if I could cross the bridge; he said yes, but I could not come back; I said I would not g0 over 80, and I turned round and came back to the city again; I looked at my watch when I had got back to 3d sireet, and it was ten minutes past 12; I rode rapidly down to the bridge, But slowly back; when got to the stable the foreman told me the President was shot; 1 put up the horse and sat down ontside the office; it was then 1 o'clock; I heard people passing on the sidewalk say that it was a man who rode off on horseback that shot Presider.t Lincoln; 1 went across E street to 1th street, and acked a eergeant did they piek up any horse; he told me they had picked up some horse, and that I could go down to the police station on 10th street, I went there, and saw a detective by the name of Chariey Stone, who told me that some horse had been taken up and taken to General Augur’s headauarters. We went along together up to General Augar’s office; I gave General Augur Herold’s descrip- tion and age, as far as I could; I told nim I had pursued Herold as far as the Navy Yard bridge: a saddle and bridle were lying quite close to his desk, which 1 recognized as the saddle and bridle Atzerodt had on the horse he said he had sold. JouN GREENAWALT testified:—Am keeper of the Pennsylvania House of this city, and am acquainted with Atzerodt. Booth had fre- quent interviews with Atzerodt, at the Penn- syivauia House. Atzerodt would generally sit in the sitting-room and Booth would walk into the hall and then out again, followed by Atz- erodt; Booth seldom entered the room; they bad interviews in front of my hoase, and they would often walk off as faras the livery sta- bie, where their conversation would take place. On one oecasion Atzerodt and some other young men whom he met came into my honse. He had been drinking, and said, *‘Greenawalt, I &m pretty near broke, though I have friends enough to give meas much money as will keep me all my life. Jam going away one of these Gaya. but I will return with as much gold as will keep me all my lifetime.” He made that declaration, I think, about the Ist of April. He came to my house on the itthof March last, He left my honse on the Wednesday before the assassination, and Inextsaw him on Saturday morning, the 15th of April, between twoand three o'clock. I had just come into my house and gone to my room, when aseryant came up to get change for a five doHar bill, and told me there was a man by the nameof Atzerodt down stairs who wanted lodging. I went down ana found Atzerodt and another man there, Atz- ercdt asked for his old room. I told him that it was occupied, and that he would have to room with the other gentleman, whom I re- quested to go to his room witn the servant. Atzerodt was going to follsw him, and I said, “Atzerodt, you have not registered.” He said, «Do you want my name!” and appeared to hesitate. He finally went back and registered hisname, The man who was with him was about 5 feet 74g or S inches in hight, and about 140 pounds in weight, of a dark, weather-beat- en complexion, and dressed poorly, nis pants being worn through. (.. Could you express an opinion as to whether the clothes worn by him were such as he probably ordinarily wore, or were assumed by Rim as a disguise! A. 1 guess they were more of a disguise; he nad ona broadcloth coat which had m much worn; his whole appearance was shabby. (. What name did he give? A. I believe it was Sam Thomas. Q.
