SECRETARY SEWARD'S ASSAILANT. IDENTIFICATION OF PAYNE. IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENTS. —__.—— CONCLUSION OF YESTERDAY'S EVI- > DENCE. Sia Oar report of the trial closed yesterday with Major Augustus Seward on the stand, who recognized Payne as the one who made the attack en the Secretary of State. The Major's evidence was the same in substance as the statements repeatedly published relative to the movements of the would-be assassin at the Secretary’s house. Cross-examined by Mr. Doster:—Q.:Be good enough to state whether this is the first time you have seen the prisoner since he was taken! A. No; I have seen him on board the monttor the day after he was taken. (2. Did you iden- tify him then? A. Yes. (. Please state the circumstances! A. He was brought up onthe monitor. I took hold of tim the same way [ did in the room, and looked up in his face; he had the same features. His size, his propor- tions, his smooth face, no beard I noticed, and when he was made to repeat the words “J am mad, I am mad,” I recogrized the same voice, varying only in intensity. Ricuarp CU. MorGan testified:—1 am in the service of the War Department, acting under orders of Colonel Olcott, special commission- er. About twenty minutes past 1! o'clock on the evening of the 17th of April, in company with other officers, I went to the house of Mrs. Surratt for the purpose of seizing the papers that might be found, and of arresting the in- mates of the house. After we had been at the house about ten minutes, and Major Smith, Captain Wermerskirsch, and some other offi- cers had arrested the inmates of the house, who were in the parlor, all ready to come out, 1 had sent an officer for a carriage to take them away, when I heard a knock and a ring at the door at the same time; Captain Wermerskirsch and myself went to the door and opened it, and the prisoner, Payne, came in; he had & pickaxe in his hand; he had on a gray coat, gray yest. black pants, a hat made out of the sleeve of a shirt, as I judged: as seor as he camein Iim- mediately closed the door; he said, I guess 1 am mistaken;” said I, “who do you want to see !” he replied, “ Mrs. Surratt;”’ said I, ‘you are right, walk in:’’ he took a seat; I said, ‘‘what did you come here for this time of night?” hesaid he came todiga gutter, that Mrs. Surratr had sent for him; I asked him *twhen;’ he said, ‘tn the morning;” I asked him where he laet worked. He said, ‘“some- where on J (Jay) street.” Lasked him where he boarded. ie said he had no boarding- honse; that he was a poor man, and earned his living with the pickaxe. I had the pickaxe in my hand. I asked him, “how much do you make a day?’ He said ‘nothing at all some- times; sometimes $1, and sometimes $1.5U.” “Have you any money?” «Not a cent.” I asced him why he came at this time of night. He said he came tosee where it was to be dug, so that he could commence early in the morning. I said, ‘have you had no previous acquaintance with Mrs. Surratt!” He said “no.” Isaid “why did she select you for this work!” He replied that she knew he was working in that neighborhood; that he wasa rman and she came tohim for it; 1 asked im how old he was, and he said about 20; I asked him where he was from; he said from Fauquier county, Va.; previous to this he had pulled ont an oath of allegiance, handed it to me and said, ‘that will show you who I am:” it contained the name of ‘‘Louis Payne, Fau- ier county, Va.:” 1 asked him if he was pea the South, he said he was; I asked him when he left there, he sald two months ago, in February; I asked him why he left, he said that he had to leave or go in the army, that he preferred to earn his living by the pickaxe; I asked him if he could read, he said ‘no;” t asked him if he could write, he said he could manage to write his name. 1 then told him he ‘Wouid have to go to the Provost Marshal’s of- fice and explain; he moved a little at that, but did not answer; the carriage had arrived to take up the women; they were sent off. and Payne was also taken away in charge of offi- cers—Major Smith, Captain Wermerskirsch and myself remaming to search for papers. We did not leave tll three o’clock next morning. The next moming I was shown a hotograph of J. Wilkes Booth tiken from her house, found behind a picture. We found photo- graphs of Jeff. Davis, of Alexander H. Ste- phens, and of Beauregard. We also found a card micrure With this on it: “Thus willit ever be with tyrants. Virginia the mighty. Sic semper tyrannis.” MAJoR SMITH ‘testified :—That he was in charge of the party that took possession of Mrs. Surratt’s house. After questioning Payne in regard to his occupation andas to what busi- ness he had at the house that night, he said he was a laborer; that he came there to dig a gut- ter at the request of Mrs. Surratt; I stepped to the door of the parlor, and said, ‘Mrs. Surratt, will you step, here a moment,” Mrs. Surratt came there; said I, “do you know this man!” she said, raising her right hand, “before God I do not know this man, and haye never seen him;” I then placed Payne under arrest, con- sidering him so suspicious a character that I would send him to Gen. Augur’s headquar- ters forexamination. There were four arrested together—Mrs. Surratt, Miss Surratt, Miss Fitzpatrick and Miss Jenkins. There was no inquiry made as to the cause of the.arrest. When i came there I went up the steps and rang the bell; Mrs. Surratt opened the window and said, ‘Is that you, Kirby!’ the reply was that it was notKirby, but open the door; she opened the door; I came into the halland said, “Are you Mrs. Surratt?” she replied, “I am the widow of John H. Surratt,” Ladded, “and the mother of Jonn H. Surratt, Jr.;” she re- phed, “I am;” I said, “I have come to arrest you and allim your honse, and take you to Gen. Augur’s for examination.” A large, ray, dirty sack coat was produced and identi- fied by witness as worn by Payne the night of his arrest. Cross examined by Mr. Aiken:—Q. Did you examine a bag taken from Mrs. Surratt’s house? A. I found a bag there, but did not see it ex- amined. (2. Did you find any photographs there! A. ldid—a_ number of them. (). Of what persons?) A. Various persons; itis im- ossible to tellwho they were. (2. Did you Rnd & photograph in that honse of Jeff. Davis or Alexander H. Stephens! A.I do not ree member. (. Are you awafe or not that itis a common thing for photographers and keep- ers of bookshops to advertise and sell hetegraphs of the leaders of the rebel- font A. I am not; I have not given such matters my attention. Q. ave you not nm such things! A.J cannot say that I have. (2. Have you not seen these photographs in the possession of persons gup- posed.tobeloyal?! A. Yes; a great many; bat Oniy those who have obtained them aince this trial. Q. Are you not aware thatit is a com- mon thing for the photographs of eminent actors to be published, and scattered broadcast over the land! A.I am, of eminent actors. Q. State distinctly where these photographs were found. A. They ‘were found in Mrs. Surratt’s house;some of them were found in a photographic album, dying on the mantle- piece, in the front parlor; they were pictures of different people. with whom I had no ac- qnaintance at all. (. ‘What remark did you make to Mrs. Surratt as you were leaving the house? A. I made-none. ©. Did you say anything to her about being ready! A. I said nothing at all; I said ‘get ready.” (. What ‘was her attitude atthat time? A. She was seated ata chair in the front parlor. Q. Was she not kneeling? A. She was not. @. Who was present at thetime of the asseveration she made thatshe dil not know Payne? A. Captain Wermerskirch and Mr. Morgan,two of my suberdinates in the department. Q. Was was that all the remark she made to you about Payne! A. ‘That was all the remark shemade in my hearing. Q. Mrs, Surratt did not attempt to estion you asked her, did she? A. Cred a ecauwer was direct. Q. Was it light in her hall at time? A. Yes, very uigpe the ‘was ‘turned on fall head. (). Did Mrs. Sarrattexpress any surprise or deep feel- ing.at ner arrest? A, No, sir;she did: not ask even for what ghe was arrested. Sheexpressed no or feeling at all. SuRcgON GENERAL Baenes. testified:—On the night of the 14th of April, within a few minutes of 11 o’elock, 1 went to Mr. Seward’s Ronse; upon Teaching there I found the Seare- tary wounded in three places, and Mr. Fred- erick Seward insensible and very badly ‘wounded in the head; the rest of the.family I did mot see, a5 I 'was occupied with them. Mr, Seward was wounded by a in the right cheek, passing round the angle of the jaw; by astab in the right side of the neck, passing into the large muscle; by & stab on the lett side of the neck, sing into the hody of the same muscle. ick Seward wés suffering from a fracture of the cranium in two places. 3 N2. 3,812. he was bleeding profusely, almost pulceless, and unable to articulate. The wound seemed to have been inflicted upon his head by seme blunt instrument, such as the butt of a pistol, & bludgeon, or something of that kind. Tne Secretary of State, before that, was prozress- ing very favorably; he was recovering from a shock received ten days previously, and was getting along very well; his right arm had been broken cloee to the shoulder, and his jaw frac- tured, but his most serious injury, on the first occasion, was from the concussion. THOMAS PRICE testilied to haying founda light colored coat in a piece of woods petween Fort Bunker Hill ard Fort Saratoga, on Mon- day, the 16th of April, The coat was found lying in a grassy path or wood road, and had upon it spotsof blood. (A coat was shown eciiies and recognized as the one found by m. Re-examination of Mr. Rosca:—Witness was present when Payne was searched. Recog- nized the articles ion of the court as. those taken trom Payne's pockets. S.M.Crark, of the Treasury Department. testified :—Q. Look at those boots, and state if ou discover any name written there. A. I ad that boot yesterday, and could discover writing on it—it has nearly disappeared from the effect of the acid with which I brought it out. (Q. Whatisit? A. Itappears tobe « J. W. Booth.” (. Was it perfectly distinct! A. No, sir; the J. and W. were distinct, but the rest was obscure. When I first received it, it was merely a black mark; the writing was covered, and I found it was one coat of ink lying over another, and I took off one coat of the ink. (2. You say the «J. W.” was dis- tinct: was the rest 50 obscure as to leave much doubt! A, Very little doubt; but I can’tspeak positive of o thing in itself obscure. By Mr. Doster :—Q. You state you had some doubt asto thename being Booth. A I had doubts as to the P” or « B,” the lower part of the B being less visible than the other. ‘). ‘What process did you use! A. I took off the upper part coat with oxalicacid. Q. How did ou separate the upper and lower coats? A. yy using water as tast as the upper coat dis- appeared under the acid. (. How was it made clear! A. At the moment the outer coat disappears the inner one begins to show. (}. Did you have any idea what the purpose was in giving these boots to you! A. No,sir. () Who gave themte you! A. Mr. Fields, then Assistant Secretary of the Treasury. (). Did he tell you who the boot was supposed to be- longto? A. Yes, sir. Q. And who had worn them! A. Yes, sir—Mr. Payne. Q. You had then an impression it was your duty to dis- cover some name upon them! A. I expected to find the name of Payne, but I followed out the letters till I discovered “th” at the end. Q. 1s it possible to restore that name by any rocess! A. By none that] amaware of. (. ut you think that, take it altogether, there is a reasonable doubt as to whether it was the name of “ J. Wilkes Booth?” A. I entertain but very little doubt about it, though I can’t swear positively, to such a thing. Mr. Jornpan, of the Treasury Department, corroborated Mr. Olarke’s testimony. Mr. Maren had aleoexamined the boot with like results. WILiiaM|A. WELL8 (col ) re-examined:—The proceedings of the court were here delayed by an order from Judge Advocate General Holt to remove the fetters from the hands of Payne, in order that he might put on botn the coats already spoken of in the record. When Payne ‘was unfettered he rose, and there was a hush through the court. Every eye was directed toward bim, and mingled expressions of ad- miration and abhorrence could be distinctiy heard—abhorrence at his real or supposed crime, and admiration for his fine physical de- velopment. His face, slightly flushed, and his lips curled with an involuntary smile, re vealed the dimples in his cheeks to which the colored boy had alluded to in his previous tes- timony. e first put on the coat of Confede- rate gray, and over it drew the J: cream- colored one. The hat was then banded to him, and he put it on, and, turning toward the ‘oung negro, bent his dark-blue eyes search- ingly upon him. wnudge Holt then said to the boy : you recognizehim now?” A. ‘Yes, sir; but he had a white collar on and looked quite nice, and he had one corner of that hat over oneeye, turned down like. I tell you, “his eyes looked pretty fiery.” Here the boy shook his head as he added, “Oh, he knows me wellenough.” In spite of the solemn im- Portance of the words, the homely itiveness of the bey evoked a laugh, to which Payne himself replied by a renewal of his old smile. Mr. Roninson was re-examined andt estified to the identity of Payne. Captain WERMERSKIRCH testified that he was at Mrs. Surratt’s house when Payne was arrested. When Mrs. Surratt was asked by Major Smith if she knew Payne, she held up her hand and said, “So help me God, I never saw him before, and I know not! about him.” Q. Do you recognize Payne thereas the man? A, Thai’s he, the man yonder. Q. And is that lady there Mrs. Surratt! A. I can’t see her face, sir. (Assietant Judge Advocate Bing- ham then requested that Mrs. Surratt be asked to unveil her face, which had the very natural effect of attacting to it the gaze of every spec- tator in the room; but, like Payne, she met the glance of the witness unmoved; and when he replied, “ Yes, sir; that’s Mrs. Surratt,” cooly and slowly replaced her veil before her face. Cross examined by Mr. Aiken:—(.. Captain, did you make any search of the premises while there! A. I did, sir. (.. What did you find? A. I tound a number of photographs, papers, bullet-moelds, and some percussion caps. (2 In which room did you find the percussion caps! A. In Mrs. Surratt'’s room, on the lower floor; and I also feund there the bullet-mold. Q. Were the caps lying loose about the room? A. They were in one of the bureau drawers, and the buliet-mold was on top of the ward- robe. (2. Was this room on the first floor! A. It was on the first floor—the back parlor. <.. What were the photographs yon found there! A. There was a number found there: I don’t know whose likenesses they were. (). Did you find any of Davis’ or Stephens’ there, or any of the rebel leaders? A. Yes, but not exactly photographs; they were lithographs—cartes de visite—in the same style as photographs. Q. ‘What remaik did you make to Mrs. Surratt when you were ready to take her from the house! A. The remark was made by Major Smith, not me. He had sent for a cab, and when he said it was ready to take her away, she requested him to wait while she knelt and prayed alittle, She knelt down, but whether she prayed or not I can’t say. (J.
