Atzerodt, David E. Herold? Those are the { only pereons, so far as his own testimony or | the testimony of any other witness discloses, ‘with whom he had ary communication what- everon any subject immediately or remotely touching this conspiracy before the assassina- tion. receipt and concealment of the arms gre, unexplained, evidence that he was in the conspiracy. ‘The explanation is that he was dependent wpon Mary E Surratt; was her tenant; and hhis declaration. given in evidence by the sc- cused herself, is that -she had rained him, #@ brought this trouble upon him.” But pecaase Se was weak enough, or wicked enough, to become the guilty depository of ese arms, ‘nd to deliver them on the order of Mary E Surrsatt to the assassins, it does not follow that hhe 18 not to be believed om oath. It is said that he conceried the facts that the arms had been Jeft and called for. He £0 testifies himeelf, bat be gives the reason that bedid it only from ap- prehension of danger to his life. if he were in the conspiracy, his general credit being un- challenged, his testimony being uncontradicted tn apy material matter, he ts to be believed, ard cannot be disbelieved if his testimony is substantisily corroborated by other reliab'e witnesses Indge Bingham named the various points in which the testimony of Lloyd was cor- roboreted by other witnesses. But there is one other fact fn this case that puts forever at rest the question of the guilty participation of the prisoner, Mrs. Surratt, in this conspiracy and murder, and tha! is that Payne, who had !odged four days in her hone, who, during all that time, had sat at her table, and who haa often conversed with her: when the guilt of his great crime was upon him,and hae kuew not where else he could so safely go to find a co-conspirator, and he could trust mone that was not like himself, guilty, with even the knowledge of his presence; under , cover of darkness, after wandering for three ays and nights, skulking before the pursu:rg Officers of justice, at the hour of midnight, found bis way to the doorof Mrs Snurratt, and cn being confronted with her in the brilliantly Jighted ball she raises her right hand and ex- claims, *‘ Before God, sir, I have not seen that man before; Ihave not hired him; 1 do not fenow anything abont him.” if not one word had been said, the mere act of Payne in fiving to her house for shelter ‘would Rave borne witness against her, strong 8 proote from Holy Writ. But when she de- @ies, after bearing bis declaratione, that she @ad sent for him, or that she had goue to him ac bired him, and calls her God to witness that she had never seen him, and knew nothing of bim, when, in point of fact, she had seen Him tor foursuccessive daysin herown house, in the same clothing which he then wore, who can'resist for & moment the conclusion that these parties were alike guilty! The testimony of Spangler’s complicity is conclusive and brief. Judge Bingham went over the evidence in the case of Spangler; and then proceeded to Bay that it was not needful to take time in the Bp, phrtacrey ot the evidence, which shows conclusively that David E. Herold was one of these conspirators. His continued association ‘with Booth, with Atzerodt, his visits to Mrs. Surratt’s his attendance at the theatre with | Payne, Surratt, and Atzerodt, bis connection ‘with Atzerodt on the evening ef the murder, riding with bim on the streetin the direction of ana near to the theatreat the hour appointed | Zor the work of assassinrtion, and his final Wight and arrest, show that he, in common ‘with ail the other parties on trial, and all the pares named upon your record not upon trial, bad combined and confederated to kill and murder in the interests of the rebellion, as charged and specified against them. Judge Bingham entering upon the question ‘Was there co-»peration between the several accosedin the execution of this conspiracy, proceeded to make a masterly grouping of the €vidence in the whole case,showing in cleerand @raphic terms the parts taken by tne different conspirators respectively. and affording 4 sus- tained narrative of the workings of the con- spiracy as a whole.

It deals courteously, yet trenchantly with the ingenious and laboriously advocated line of defence set up for the prisoners respective- ly by their counsel, Messrs. Johnson, Aiken, Clampitt, Cox, Doster, and Ewing, and to most minds will be deemed conclusive on all the main points argued. This case, which must rank in all coming times among the cases celelre of the world may now be considered closed, so far as the public is concerned, until the announcement of the findings, which it is understood will be made at the earliest practicable moment.

Besides the 700, whose names were ascer- tained, there were a large number of both Rebel and Union soldiers interred of whom no information leading to their identity could be discovered.
