SECRETARY SEW- ARD We are called upon to announce the nee intelligence of the death of Mrs. Seward, the estimable wife of Secretary Seward, who breathed her last at 10.15 this morning in the | presence of all the members of the family and a namber of devoted personal friends, who mournfully stood by her bedside. Mrs, Seward was sick for some two or three weeks of billious fever, prouga&t on doubtless by constant and untiring attendance upon her husband and son, and at the time of her death | he nas ventured more, he has shown a higher was about sixty years of age. The remains of Mrs. Seward are to be em- baimed by Drs. Brown and Alexander, and will be forwarded to Auburn, New York, the | home of the Secretary. for interment.

See SaaS ‘The Court met at 12 m. to-day in pursnance of adjourament yesterday. Upon the Court bemg called to order, Mr. Doster, counsel for Payne and Atzerodt pro- ceeded to read his argument in behalf of Payne. There are three things, he said, in the caseof the prisoner Payne which are admitted beyond cavil or dispute. Ist. That he is the person who | attempted to take the life of the Secretary of State, 2d. That he is not within the medical definition of insanity. 3d. That he believed what he was doing was right and justifiable. The questions as to his identity and sanity &re therefore settled and among the things of the past, And thesole remaining question is how far shall his convictions serve to mitigate his punishment. He used the word punish- ment deliberately and with the consciousness that in so doing he admitted that If the prisoner is a responsible being he ought to be punished, and he said it because he could not allow his dutes as counsel to interfere with his conyic- tions &s & man £0 far as to make him blind to the worth of the life of 8 distinguished citizen and to the awful consequences of an attempt to take itaway. If, indeed, such an attempt should be allowed to go without rebuke, then it seemed to bim the office is but a perilous ex- poem to vielence; the highest compensation for public service is the distinction which fol- jows assassination: and then our public ser- vants aré but pitiable and defenseless offerings to sedition. And surely if any public servant deserved to be excepted from that fate it was the illustrious and sagacious statesman who pee @ long life of arduous services has steadfastly checked all manner of faction and Public discontent, who in the darkest days of discord has prophecied the triumph of concord, and who at all times has been more ready to apply antidotes than the knixe to the nation’s ‘wounds. 1 That we may accurately, and as fully as the occasion demands, understand the convictions of the prisoner, the counsel proceeds to give 4 eketch of his life, the customs under which he ‘was reared, and the education which he re- eeived. Lewis Payne Poweil is the son of the Rey. George U. Powell, a as ey Minister, at preseat supposed to live at Live Oak Station, On the railroad between Jacksonville and Tal- lahassee, In the State of Florida, and was born in Alabama in the year 1515. Besides himself his father had six daughters and two sons. He lived for some time in Worth and Stewart counties, Georgia, and in 135) moved to Flor- ida. At the breaking oat of the war, but four years tg the prisoner was alad of sixteen, engaged in superintending bis father's planta. tion and 8 number of slaves. We maay safely Presume that occupied in the imnocent pur- suits of country lie, he daily heard the pre. cepts of the gospel from his father, and that in the society of his sisters the hardy life of a lanter was softened by the charms of a re. ned and religious circle, and that in the nat- ural course ot events he would be to-day, as he was then, a farmerand an honest man. But in 1661 war broke out—war the scourge and pestilence of the race. The signal, which spread like a fire, was not long im reaching Live Oak Station. His two brothers enlisted, and Lewis, though but sixteen, enlisted in Capt, Stuart's com pany in the 2d Florida infan- >» comman . Ward, as - dered to ‘Richmond- rutin Ss Mr. Doster proceeded to consider what in the eyes ot this Florida boy was the meaning of the war, and what the oughts that drove bim from & pleasant home to the fieid of atms. The counsel pictured in vivid language the auspices under which young Powell. was trained in a slave community, where it was the custom to defend the institution of slavery in meeting houses, at political gatherings, and im family prayers; where it was the practice | to Whip and barn men who preached against | entered as a boy of 16,is shown. Heisene of that army who made baskets and ca: at or the benes of Union soldiers; who starved th prisoners; who plundered the dead; who slew men After surrender, and who were command~- ed by officers who had violated their osths to the United States; an army that believed any means justifiable that helped the cause of Southern independence; and finally an arm: that held the person and Cabinet of the Presi. dent of the United States in holy e@xecration. This is the horrible demoralization of civil war, and on thcse responsible for this war should rest the responsibility of the acts of this plastic boy who came into the world in the year of the annexation of Texas; has lived but four administrations, and is younger than the last compromise with slavery. He isthe moral | produc tof the war and belongs to those who first begun it. flow does he differ from the other rebel sol- diers? The best rebel soldiers have fired at | Mr. Lincolnand Mr. Seward; have approached the city by stealth from Baltimore and aimed | to destroy the Government by a sudden biow. So did he. The best rebel soldiers have picked | off high officers of the Government, Kearney, | Stevens, Baker, Wadsworth, Lyon,Sedgewick. | Sodid he. What then bas he done that every rebel soldier has not tried todo? Only this, | courage and a better hate,a more ready sacri- | fice. He has aimed at the head of a Department instesd of the head of a Corps. To us the President appeared as the Savior of a nation frem civil war, and Mr. Seward as | the great pacificator, the Savior from foreign war; but to this boy and five millions of his fellow countrymen, the one appeared as an usurper, invader, and violater of laws and destroyer of life, liberty, and property: the other as an adviser in oppression, and a slip- pery advocate of an irrepressible conflict. le differed from the Southern army, simply be- cause he surpassed itm courage; and he dif- fered from a patriotand martyr, simply be- cause he was mistaken in his duty. But there is a third school before him. From Gettysburg he was sent to West Buildings Hospital, Pratt street, Baltimore, and remained until October, 1563, when seeing no hope of exchange, he deserted for his regiment, and walking through Winchester, met a regiment of cavalry at Fauquier, Not being able to get through our lines, he was joined to this arm ofthe service, and remained in that service until January 1, 1965. On that day, as we see by the narrative of Mrs. Grant, he sayed the life of two Union soldiers. About the same time, he, like many other Southern soldiers. began to despair of the Confederacy, came to Alexandria, sold his horse, gave his name as | Payne, took the oath of allegiance as a refugee | trem Fauquier, and wentto Baltimore and took & room at the house of Mrs. Branson. the lady he had met at Gettysburg, and resolved to wait for the return of peace. | In this third school—the rebel cavalry ser- vice—he received further damaging training; and amongst the people of oudon and | Fauquier whohad suffered most from the war, | gained an added acrimony and hate for those | deemed their oppressors But there is @ fourth school before bim—the | school of necessity. | . He wasin Baltimore withont trade or pro- fession. He was unused to manual labor. In perplexity about his future—for the little | money he got for his horse was fast going—he | whiled away the time in reading medical | works and brooding in his chamber. While | Im this condition the fracas occurred at his | boarding-house, by which he was arrested, | brought before the provost marshal, and or- dered north of Philadelphia. Everywhere the sky is darktohim. He is prescribed amongst | northern men as & rebel; despised amongst southern men in Baltimore asa recreant south- | erner, and a by-word among southern men at home as a deserter. Pensiless and friendless the earth seems to reject him and God and | man to be againsthim. This is the work of | civil war. is education is now completed. Slavery bas taughthim to wink at murder; the southern army has taught him to practice and | justify murder; guerrilla warfare has taught THE INNER HISTORY OF THE DOINGS | | resolution to commit murder. | went to the theater at Ricnmona | first play that Powellever saw. | polished, him to love murder: necessity has taught him He needs no | further education; his four terms are complete, and he graduates an assassin! And of this | college we, the reunited people of the United States, have been the stern tutors, guiues and | professors! It needs now only that some one should em- Pley him. At the beginuins of the war Powellone night It, 4 the and he was spell-bound with the magical influence of the stage, but was chiefly attracted by the voice and manner of one of the actors, J. Wilkes Booth. Aithongh only a private soidier Powell considered himseif the equal of any man, and after the play was over sought and gained an introduction to the actor. Never were two natures throwa together so different, yet so well calculated to rule the other ard be ruled. The soldier was tall, awkward, rougb, frank, generous and il- Hterate. The actor was of delicate mould, graceful, subtle, with a brilliant fancy and an abundant stock of reading. They saw enough of one another to form a close im- timaey, sufficient to complete the control of Booth over the prisoner, and parted not to meet for nearly four years. In the twilight of that memorable day in March just depicted, Pow- ell was dragging himself slowly along the street past Barnom’s Hotel, @ poor creature overcome by destiny. Suddenly a familiar voice hailed him. Looking up the stepshe saw the face of the Richmond actor. The actor on his side expressed astonishment to find Powell yin such a plight Powell answered him in jew words, “Booth, I want food, I am stary- ing.” Under other circumstances Booth might have given him bread, but he was filled with & mighty scheme, for he had just come from Canada ani was lying in wait tor agents. He seized with eagerness this poor man’s hunger to wind about him his toils, saying “I will give you as much money as you want, but you must swear to stick by me It isin the oil business.” An hungry stomach is not captions of oaths, and Powell then swore that fatal oath binding his- soul as firmly to Booth as Faust to Mephistophiles, nd went in and feasted. Next morning Booth gave him money enough to buy a change of clothing and keep him for a week. Powell pow grew anxious to know what plan it was that was to make him rich, but Booth an- swered evasively that it was the ojl business. He knew wellenovgh that he had to do with & desperate man, but he Knew also that any proposition of a guilty character might as yet be rejected. Mr. Doster proceeded to describe and narrate in. animated language the manner in which Booth, step by step, worked onthe mind of his victim, depicting to the prisoner the wrongs of the South and the guilt of her oppressors, and wronght him vie toa pitch of phrenzied passion to avenge the wrongs of his country And set himself right with his countrymen, who | despised him as a recreant. Booth saw his victim was ready, and has- tened to impart his mysterious plans. The plan wes to go to Washington, take a ride with confederates on horsebatk to the Sol- Giers’ Home, capture the President, and de. liver him to the rebel authorities On the evening of the 14th of April, at $ o’clock, Booth told bim the hour had struck, placed in his hands the knife, the revolver, and the bo- gus package of medicine, and told him todo bis duty, and gave him a horse, with direc- tons to meet bim at the Anacostia Bridge, and he went and did the deed. “J,” said Mr. Dos- ter, “have asked him why hedidit?” Hisonly answer is, Because | believed it my duty ” Mr. Doster proceeded to argue that Payne, at the time he committed this deed, had no will ot his own, but had surrendered his will com- Pletely to Booth, under that influence, that complete supremacy of one mind over another, that has gone by various names amongst various nations, and which we call mesmerism. Booth was a person peculiarly gifted with this unaccountable influence; and the prisoner was furtber held to Booth by the ties of gratitude, by his oath, by ties of interest, and by ties of sympathy in acommon canse.

Mr. Doster proceeded to draw « distinction between the hired aseassin who kills for gold, and the fanatical assassin who deems it his duty to offer up his own life in exchange for the Jife be believes to be a public enemy, and contended that Payne was of the latter class. The erect bearing, the patience, the smiling self-possession of the prisoner were referred to as indicating the politieal fanatic, a mono- Maniac on the subject of his duty.

As it has been stated, in the heretofore men- tion of the negotiation, that the sale was de- pendent upon the consent of the authorities, it isdueto Mr. Ford tosay that the authorities of course have no other control over the build- ing than while the trial is in progress, in order | to secure the ends of justice by holding all the mute evidence of the theater inttct. In this wish of the Government Mr. Ford has very cheerfully acquiesced, though of course at 8 heavy expense to himself.

EES SS ARGUMENT OF MR. DOSTER. SS In onr first edition we gave an outline of Mr. Doster’s argument in behalf ot Payne. Upon the commencement of Mr Doster’s argument the prisoner Payne (or Powell) moved uneasily once or twice in his seat, and after casting bis eyes slowly abont the room, fixed them with a steady look on his couusel, but with an air of unconcern strikingly in comparison with the interest manifested by the other prisoners. Arnold ceased to loek through the grated window by which he was sitting, and leaned forward, as if to catch every word of Payne’s histery, while Herold, eeated immediately on ‘ayne’s right, turned half round and watched the face of the latter with @ sort of half amazed stare. The allusions to Payne’s early lif», the teachings of his mother, and the social influences ot his | sisters, seemed to move the prisoners. His eyes grew misty, and easuniod a vaeant look, and his fingers toyed witheach other nervous- ly. Finally Payne dropped his head and maintained that posture until the conclusion of the argument, with the exception of an occasional sidelong glance. Unce he raised his eyes and his face flashed } during the narration of his experience in the rebel army and his destitution in Baltimore. At the conclusion of the argument in his de- fense be crossed his legs and rested his mana- cled hands on his knees, slowly sweeping the room with his eyes, and finally settling down into an easy posture, asif relieved by the ter- mination of his case. Upon the conclusion of the argument in be- half of Payne the Court tcok a recess, after which Mr. Doster entered upon the argument iu behalf of Atzerodt, commencing by oftering astatement by his client as follows: The prisoner Atzerodt submits the following statement to the Court:—I am one of a party who agreed to capture the President of the United States, but I am not one of a party to kill the President of the United States, or any member of the Cabinet, or General Grant, or Vice President Johnson. The first plot to cap- ture failed, the second to kill I broke away from the moment I heard of it. This is the way it came about:—On the evening of the 14th of April I met Booth and Payne at the Herndon House, jn this city, at § o'clock. He( Booth) said he himself would take charge of Mr. Lincoln and General Grant. Payne should take Mr. Seward, and I should take Mr. Johnson. I told him I woald not do it. That I had gone iato the thing to capture, but I was not going to kill. He told meI wasa focl, that I would be hung anyhow, and that it ‘was death for every man that backed ont, and so we parted. I wandered about the sireets until about 2 o’clock in the morning, and then went to the Kimmell House, and from there pawned my pistol at Georgetown, and went to wy, cousin’s house, in Montgomery county, where 1 was arrested the i%th following. Atter I was arrested I told Provost Marshal Wells and Provost Marshal McPhail the whole story; also told it to Capt. Monroe, and Col. Wells told me if I pointed ont the way Booth had gone I would be reprieved, and so I told him I thought he had gone down Charles county in order to cross the Potomac The arms which were found in my room at the Kirkwood House and a black coat do not belong to me. On the afternoon of the 14th of April Hereid called to aap and left the coat there. It is his coat, and all in it belongs to him, as you can see by the handkerchiefs, marked with his initial and with the nameof his sister, Mrs. Naylor Now I will state how I passed the whole of the eve- ning of the jith of April. In the afternoon about 2 o’clock I went to Keleher’s stable on Sih street, near D, and hired a dark bay mare and rode into the country for pleasure, and on my return put her upat Naylor’s stabie. The dark bay horse which I had kept at Naylor’s before on or about the 3d of April belonged to Booth, and also the saddle and bridle. ana x head charge of him to sell him, and I do not know what became of him. At about 6 in the evening I went to Naylor’s again and took out the mure, rode out for an hour and re. turned her to Naylor’s. It was then nearly 9, and 1 told him to keep the mare ready at 10 o’clock, in order to return her to the man 1 hired her from. From there 1 went to the Herndon House; Booth sent a message to the “Oyster Bay,’ where I was, saying he wanted to see me; and I went. Booth wanted me to murder Mr. Johnson. Lrefused. I then went to the «Oys- ter Bay,” on the avenue, above 12th street, and whiled away thetime untilnearlv. At 101 got the mare and having taken a drink with the hestler, galloped about town, and went to the Kimmell House. From there I rode down to the depot, and returned my horse riding up Penna. avenue to Keleher’s. From Keleher’s I went down to the Navy Yard to get Aroom with Wash Briscoe. He had none, and by the time I got back to the Kimmell House it was near 2. The man Thomas was 4 stranger I met on the street. Next morning, as stated, I went to my cousin Richter’s, in Montgomery county. GEORGE A. ATzERODY. Mr. Doster, proceeding with his argament, quoted the specification under which the pri- soner Atzerodt is charged as follows:—“ And in further prosecution of said conspiracy and its t¥aitorous and murderous designs, the said George A. Atzerodt did, on the night of the 14tm of April, A. D. 15:5, and about the same hour of the night aforesaid, within the military department and military lines afore- said, lie in wait for Andrew Johnson, then Vice President of the United States aforesaid, with the intent unlawfully and malicionsly to kill murder the said Andrew Johnson.” In support vf this specification the Government has submitted the testimony of Weickman and Miss Surratt that he was frequently at Mrs. furratt’s in company with Booth; ot Green- walt that he had interviews with Booth at the Kimmel! House, and that he said on the Ist of April, « Green'wait, I am pretty near broke, though I bave friends euongh to give me as much money as will keep me all my life. 1 Am going @way one ot these days, but will re- turn with as much money as will keep me al) my lifetime;” of Marcus P. Norton, that he overheard him in conversation with Booth, in which it was said about the eve- ning of the third of March, that «if me matter succeeded as well with Johnson as it did with old Buchanan the party would be sold,” and also that ‘the character of the wit- nesses would be sich that nothing could be proved by them;” of Col. Nevins, that he was asked by the prisoner between 4 and 5 of the afternoon of the 12th of April, at the Kirkwood Houee, to point out Mr. Johnson while at din- ner; of John Fletcher, that on or about April 3d_the prisoner owned a horse and saddle, which he afterwards said was sold in Mont- gomery county. and which. was afterwards found near Camp Barry Hospital on the night or the 14th of April; and also that he got a dark bay mare at Naylor’s on the evening of the 14th (which he bad brought there in the morn- ing 8nd rode her away a‘ half past 6;) brought her back at 8, returned again at 10, ordered his mare, took a drink, said “if this thing happe: to-night you will bear of a preseat,” and satd | of the mare ‘she ie good on & retreat;” that! then he roda. tp. the Kirk wood House, came out Again. weut along D street and:turned up 10th street; of Thos.

Browning, Pri- vate Secretary, that the Vice President was in his room from 5 o’clock to the balance of the evening; of M. J. Pope, that on the 12th the pr.coner was at his stable endeavoring to sell a horse; that he went off with John Barr: of the latter, that the prisoner w .= at Pope’s: of Henry Brawnerand Lewis 0. Hawkins, that on the 3d of March he was in Port Tobacco; of Judge Olin and Henry Burden, that they would not believe Marcus P. Norton on oath. The prisoner submits that the testimony ad- duced by the prosecation fails utterly to sup- port the specification, but corroborates the risoner’s Own statement in every particular. ‘he specification charges him with “lying in wait for Andrew Johnson,” &c., and on this oint the evidence is circumstantial. Colonel evins says Atzerodt inquired for the Pres- ident on the afternoon of April 12, between 4 and 5, and acknowledges that he saw him only fora minute atthe time. Pope says that the prisoner came to his stable some day in April to sell a horse, and this day is fixed by John Barr as the 12th of April, because he made an entry in his book at the time. Colonel Nevin's testimony must, therefore, fall to the ground, and while it is concluded that some one at the Kirkwood had asked Colonel Nevins this com- mon question, it is certain that Atzerodt is not the man. The second point brought in support of the specification is by Marcus P. Norton, whose dec!aration is to the effect that he saw Atzsrodt in company with Booth on the evening of March 3, he thinks, and heard it said, “If the matter succeeds as well with Johnaon as it did with old Buchanan, the party would be sold:” also, the words, “The character of the wit- nesses would be such that nothing could be proved by them.’ The prisoner says this is a deliberate falsehood, as he proved that he was not in Washington on the 2d and 3d of March, by Henry Brawner, of Port Tobacco, and Lewis P. Markins, who tes- tify that about that time he was at home. This would be sufficient to disprove Norton's statements, but there is other evi- dence that be was deliberately making testi- mony, for he says on the same day he saw Dr. Mudd. who was asking for Booth. Dr. Mudd has shown that he was not at the Kirkwood or in Washington city on that day. This inge- nious fabricator of testimony chose the 3d of March to give his story probability, and he appears, before he wove this fine perjury, to have omited reading the testimony of Con- over, who says the name ot Andrew Johnson was not joined in the plot until atter the inau- guration, and that at that time the name of Mr. Hamlin was on the list, and so perpetrated an egregious blunder. How singular fhat he sould remember exact words for three months, and faces when he ts so short-sighted. As might be inferred, heis a notable false wit- ness. He takes patent cases, and if be cannot Win by argument he takes the witness box and swears them through. Mr. Henry Burden, a wealthy citizen of ‘roy, and Judge 0. B. Olin testify that they would not believe him on oath. From internalevidence of his tes- timony, its faleity in the matter of Dr. Mudd, its proven falsity in the time of Atzerodt’s visit to the Kirkwood, and his known reputa- tion as a false witness, leavee noshadow of doubt that his testimony is the offspring of a desire to ceapeaen himself on the witness stand, and that rodt never met Booth at the National on the 3d of March, or had the alleged conversation with bim. The third strong point of the prosecution is that Atzerodt left room 126 at the Kirk wood, taking the key with him, and in his room was found @ coat containing & bowie knife, pistol, handkerchiet marked “J. Wilkes Booth,” to- gether with notes on the Ontario Bank in the name ot Booth, and memoranda showing they once belonged to Booth. The coat and contents ‘were disposed of by the prosecntion. McPhail Swears Atzerodt told him that the coat and arms belonged to Herold; the clerk that some callea to see Atzerodt in the afternoon. It was Herold, and he left his coat in the room: the handkerchief is marked with the name of “Mary E. Naylor,” sister of Herold; another is marked “H” for Herold. But why did At. zerodt suffer his coat and arms to be in his room! Because he was ina plot to capture the President. Im so far he was the colleague of Herold and Booth—no farther. Because for this purpose (to capture the President), to be used in defence, he carried the knife and pis- tol, which McAllister used to keep for him— the same knife he threw away, and the same pistol Be pawned, and therefore he suffered Herold to leave his armor for the same reason he carried his own. But why did Atzerodt go away with the key and never come back! Because he did not want to be arrested: because he was not guilty of aiding in the assassination of Mr. Lincoln: because he was in the plot so far as to capture the President, and when he was ordered to Kill tne Vice President and refused he was unable to resolve either to inform the authorities for fear of Booth, or to do the deed for fear ot being bung, and so he just abandoned theroom as he abandoned everything connected with the con- spiracy. Had he been able to resolve to carry out his allotted duty he would naturally have taken the coat of Herold and put it on, and used the arms. Had he been able to resolve to fly at once he would have removed all traces of his participation. One reason for leaving without paying was becauee he had no money, and the reason for leaving the coat was because they did not belong to him. But the main reason was that he was between two fires, which breught out his native irresolution, and so he cut the gordian knot by running away We shall see that he left the Kimmell House the next'morning withent paying his bill. It was for thesame reason, he had no imoney un- iu after he had pawned his pistol in’ George- own The fourth pointof the prosecution is that Atzerodt lodged in the came house with the Vice President, the relative situation of the 1ooms was fayorable to aseassination. The room of the Vice President was one which no cne could help passing in going down or up, and room 126 was as remote trom it as possi- bie in a different wing. It is evident that any one desirous of laying in wait for the Vice President would have taken aroom on the same floor. But the actdal fact is better than suppositions. Mr. Browning: says the Vice President was in his room from 6 to 10, during which time the deed could bave been done. There is no evidence that Atzerodt was at the house during that time except that of Fletcher, who says that Atzerodt went there and st iid five mimutes. What was he doing there? He was taking a drink at the bar. fr he tried to kill Vr. Johnson why was {ft not shown? No one was seen lying in wait; the lock had not been tampered with. The President was un- disturbedeven by aknockonthe door. And why? Becanse Atzerodt refused to do it, be cause be kept up appearances but backed ont, becanse the instrument which was to have as- sasinated the Vice President was too conscien- tions or afraid to do it, The fifth point 1s that on bis arrest he gave a falre name, dented having lett Washiagton recently, and said be be had nothing to do with the assassination. For the last statement he told the truth. Assassination and murder were things tor which he was not by nature intended, and he had nothing to do with it. As forthe false name, ‘t appeared that Sergeant Gemmili understood his name ts be Atwood. Knowing that he bad been in colleague with others to capture the President, he was afraid to confess his part then and there, and denied hrving recently left Washington. The sixth point is that he said to Fletcher after 10 on the 14th “If this thing happens to- night you will hear of a present,” and aisoin reference to the mare “She is good on a re- treat,” and to Lieat. Keim on the Sunday be- fore, + If owe fails I shall want the other.” On the first occasion Atzerodt was about half drunk, while the other remark was made after tbe parties had- taken their. cocktails. So that even if we credit the drunken memories of the witnesses we cannot do more aD esas it to * valor pointing to the possible desperate Done of rf cea to reptare. .- ‘There is only one asspreption that will mate thing agree.

The specification charges that about 10.15 he Was “lying in wait to murder,” &c., and the coupeel contends that all the circumstances cam be accounted for. The prisoner bad op- portunity to lie im wait, and as there was no proof that he did, he should be considered guiltless of the attempt to murder. If the theory of his attempting to murder be adopted, it is met with denial at every point. He tried to become a hero, but was galt, a coach maker, absolutely without courage. The jain, unvarnished statement is that durin, he latter part of February John Surratt an Booth wanted & man whe understood boating, and conld both get a boat and ferry a party over the Potomac on a cay Surratt knew Atverodt, and under the influence of great promiees of . fortune, consented to furnish the boat and do the ferrying over. This plot was attempted on the IStn of March, and failed. Booth, however, kept bis subordinates unin- formed of his plans, except that it was under- stood the President was to be captured. Mean~ while everybody was waiting for Booth Ona the 15th of March Atzerodt went to the Kim- mel House. On the ist ot April he talked of future wealth; on the ttn he spoke to Lieut. Kiem, overtheir liquor, of “using oneif the other tailed;’ on the lzth he stopped at the Kirk- wood, and tried to sell the bey horse to Pope, ontke 1th Booth unfolded his plans at the Herndon House, and Atzerodt refused: from the Herndon House he went to Oyster Bay, till 10, and took drinks; at 10 he took a drink with Fletcher; at 10:10 he took @ drink at the Kirkwood House: 10:20 do at Kimmell, and rode absut the city; 1l_ returned his horse; at 12he was at the Navy Yard; at2 he went to bed; next morning at 5 he got up and went to Georgetown, pawned his pistol, and went to Mr. Mett’s; on 16th took dinner at Mett’s; om Sunday evening he went to Hartman Rich- ter’s: On 19th he was arrested. This ends this history, which might have become a tragedy, but wich the prisoner bas turned toa farce. He was riding round from. bar room to bar room, while Payne was at Seward’s, and itis plain he was drunk. After his peregrinations to charge him with “lying in wait,” &c., is paying him an undeserved compliment. There is hota particle of the specification proved, but the immediate contrary. During the whole of the evening, so far as the evidence throws any light on his conduct, instead of “lying in wait” near to the Vice President, he Was standing the different bars from the Union House to the Kimmell House, “with the intent tben and there unlawfully and maliciously to make Atzerodt drank.” Booth employed him for an emergency, he was perfectly competent to perform in the plan to capture, to furnish the boat and carry the party across the Potomac. For psrticipa- tingin the President’s assassination he could never have been intended. Booth was, as his conduct shows. anxious to carry off the glory of the thing. He remarked that he wanted ‘no botching with Gen. Grant.” He must have known when he told Atzerodt to tak? charge of the Vice President that he had not the cour- age, and did not care particularly whether he accomplished it or not The charge is divisible into two separate apd distinct parts, “with combining, conted~ erating,” &c., ‘on or before the 6th of March,’” &c., and even suppose he was proven guily of tbe charge and specification, he has already turned State’s evidence tothe Provost Mar- shal, and therefore his punishment would fall under the practice usual in all courts of jus- tice that one confessing has an equitable right tothe leniency of the court. His case, how- ever, rests on no such slender ground. In- stead of conspiring to Kill, he refused to kill, and instead of lying in wait to murder, he in- toxicated himeelf at the appointed hour, and next morning ranaway Heis guilty solely of what he confesses, of conspiring to abduct the President, and of that he can be found guilty only under a new indictment.
