THE START.
When the murder occurred, Colonel Baker was
absent honk Washington. He returned on the 3d
morning: and Was at Onee'brigight hylAwnstary
Stanton to 3oln the hue and cry against the escaped
Booth. The sagacious. detective found that nearly
ten thousand cavalry awl onetetuth as many police
men bad been meantime scouring, without plan or
compass, the whole territory of Southern Maryland.
They were treading on each others' heels, and Mix,
leg up the thing so confoundedly, that the best
place for the enlprits to bale gone would have been
m the very midst at their pursuers. Baker at Onee.

usual detective measures, till then neglected, of off
ering a reward, and getting out photographs of the
suspected ,onea. He then dispatched a few chosen
detectives to certain vital ports, and awaitsd results.

scribed,
de
scribed, and after a futile ride on the Frekshurg
rode, they turned shortlrto the east. and kept up
their baffled enquiries all the way to Port Conway,
on theßappatrannock •
AT PORT ROYAL
On 'Tuesday morning they presented themselves
at Port Royal ferry, and Inquired of the ferryman,
while he was taking them over in squads of seven
at a time If he had seen any two such men. Con
tinued their Inquiries at Port Royal, they found one
"Belli* a fisherman, who referred them to a n
named-Lucas, as having driven two inert a abort-wro,
die
taries towards Bowling Green. In a wagon. It was
found that these men answered the descrintldn,
Booth having a crutch, as previously ascertained.
HOW THE ASSASSIN CROSSED
The day before Booth and Harald had applied at
Port Conway for the general ferry-boat, bee the
ferryman watt then fishing, and would not desist for
the inconsiderable Lire Of only two permits ; bet to
their supposed good fortune a lot of Confederate
cavalrymen Just then came along, who threatened
the ferryman with a shot in the head if he did not
instantly bring across his craft and transport the en
tire party. These cavalrymen were of Moseby's
disbanded command, returning, from Fairfax Court
House, to their homes in Caroline county. Their
Captain was on his way to visit a sweetheart at
Bowlinellreen, and he had en far taken Booth un
der his patronage, that when the latter was toweling
with Luells for a team, he offered Booth and Harold
the we of his horse, to ride and walk alternately.
BOWLING GREEN
This is the court house town of Caroline county,
a amen and scattered place, having within it an anc
ient tavern, no longer used for other than lodging
p but here they hauled from his bed the
captain a foresaid,
oresaid, and bade him dress himself. As
soon as he comprehended the matter he became pal
lid, and cagerly narrated the facts in his possession.
Booth, to his knowledge, was then lying at the house
of one Garrett, which they had mn.ed, and Harold
had departed the existing Iry with the intention of
rejoining him.
THE HIDING PLACE.
Taking this captain along for a guide, the worn-
Pnt horsmett retraced, though some ofthe men were
so haggard and wasted with travel, that they had to
be kicked into Inrchigezerzi. before they could climb
to their saddles The objects of the chase thus at
hand, the detectivee,Jull of sanguine purpose, hur
ried the cortege so well along that by two o'clock
early morning all halted at Garrett's gate. In the
pale moonlight, three hundred yards from the male
Mad, to the left, a plain, old ['arm house looked
grayly through the envlroning locusts. It was worn
and white-washed, and two-storied, and its halt-hu
man windows glowered down upon the silent caval
rymen,- like waiebirg owls which stood as sentriCs
over lotus horrible secret asleep within.
TAE BARN
Dingy seen behind, an old barn, hinh and weather
beaten, faeed the roadside gate, for the house itself,
lay to the left of Its own lane ; and nestling beneath
the barn a few long corn-cribs lay with a cattle shed
at.baad,
THE ROUSE SURROUNDED.
In tbsrdead stillness, Baker dismounted and forced
the outer gate; (longer kept close behind him, and
the horsemen followed cautiously. They made no
noise. in the soft clay. nor broke the alltoreboding
silence , anywhere, till the second gate swung open
gratingly, 'yet oven then nor Imams nor shrill re
sponse came back, save distant crooking, as of frogs
or owls, or the whir of some passing night-hawk.-
8o they surrounded the pleasant old homestead,
each horseman, carbine In poise, adjusted under the
grove of locusts, so as to inclose the dwelling with
a circle of lire. After a pause, Baker rode to the
kitchen door on the aide, and dismounting, rapped
and binned lustily. An old man, in drawers and
nightshirt, hastily undrew the bolts, and stood on
the threshold, peering shiveringly Into the darkness.
QUERIES.
Baker seized him by the throat at once, and held
a pistol to his ear. "Who, who la It that calla me ?"
criedthe old man. "Where are the men who stay

THE TRUTH AT LAST.
In the Interim, Conger had also entered, and while
the household and its Invaders were thus in weird
tableaux, a young man appeared, as if ho had risen
from the ground. The muzzle of everybody tnrned
upon him in a second ; but, while he blanched, he
did not lose loquacity. "Father," be said, "we had
better tell the truth about the matter. ' Those men
whom you seek, gentlemen, are in the barn,
know. They went there to sleep." Leaving one
soldier to guard the old man—and the soldier was
,very glad of the job, as it relieved him of personal
hazard in the approaching combat—ail the rest, with
cocked pistols at the young man's head, followed
on to the barn. It lay a hundred yards from the
house, the front barn door facing the west gable, and
was an old and - spachrfa structure, with floors only
a trifle above thegrnund level.
ON GUARD
The troops dismounted, were stationed at regular
intervals around it, and ten yards distant at every
point, four special guards placed to command the
door, and sit with weapons in supple preparation,
while Baker and Conger went direct to the door.
It bad a padlock anon it, and the key of this, Baker
secured at once. 41 the interval of silence that en
seed, the rustling of planks and straw was heard In

A PARLEY
At tho same moment Baker hailed: '
"To the persons in this barn I have a proposal to
make. We are about to tend In to you the eon or
the man in whose custody you are found. Either

No answer rams to this of wry kind. The lad,

Immediately Lieutenant Baker locked the door on

The boy was placed at * remote point, and the sum

"Yon must Surrender inside there. Give up your

A bold reply cams from within, so strong as to be
heard at the house door,

At this time Harold wee quite np to the door,

Harold thrust forth hls hands, when Baker, seizing

The fellow began to talk of hie Innocence and plead

" Captain, give me a chance. Draw off your men
and I will fight them singly. I could have killed
you six times to-night, but I believe you to be
brave men, and would not murder you. Give a lame
man a show."
It was too late for pules , . All this time Booth's
voice bad sounded from about the middle of the
barn.
THE BARN FIRED.
Ere he ceased speaking.. Colonel Conger slipped
around to the rrar, drew some loose straws through
a crack, and Et a match upon them. They were dry
and blazed op In an Instant.
Behind the blaze, with his eye to a crack, Conger
saw Booth standing upright upon a crotch. At the
gleam of the are Booth dropped his crutch and car
bine and crept to the spot to espy the Incendiary.--'-
Ws eyes were lustrous like fever, and swelled and
rolled, while his teeth wsre axed, end he wore the
expression of one In the calness before Ireozy.—:
In vain he peered, with ven geance in his look: the
blaze that made him visible concealed his eaemy.—
A second he turned glaring at the are as if to lea
upon It and extinguish it, but it had made suchhead
way that this was a futile impulse and he dlsmtssed
He then made toward the main door of the barn,
with carbine In one band and plithi in the other,
and when about the centre of the barn a pistol Shot
was heard from near the corner of the building.—
Daring this time Baker was bolding the door par
tially open. On hearing the shot he opened the door
and went in pot in time to see Booth fall.
Con,ger, who immediately entered the barn, said :
" bee shot himself." Baker reached the body
and clasp& Booth by the arms, thinking he was
probably only wounded. But,_ finding him power

and trade an effort to speak. Col. Conger placed
his ear to Booth's month, and beard him say: "felt
mother,' die for my country."
The heat became so Intense that Booth was taken
to the porch of Garrett's house. Col. Conger im
mediately sent to Port Royal for a surgeon, and an
hour elapsed before the surgeon arrived, during
which time Lieut. Baker constantly bathed Booth's
bead In lee-water, and placed in his month a wet
cloth, Booth being unable to get his lips to a tumb•
ler, owing to the fact that he could not be raised up.
To the meantime it was discovered that the wound
had been Inflicted by a shot from a pistol In the
hands of Sergeant Corbett of the 16th New York
Cavalry, the W.l passing entirely through his neck,
perforating both sides of his shirt collar.
Shortly after Booth was laid upon the porch he
made an effort to speak. He said : Tell my mother
I died for toy country. I did what I thought was
for the best
This was said with mat difficulty, end apparently

interval. •. " Kill me—kill me!" and by signs Indi

seemed now to be falling rapidly, but revived again
and said : My hands." His hands were then ly
ing motionless by his aide. Baker raised one of his
bands so that be could see It, and bathed it In Ice
water. Booth, with great. effort, his eyes glaring at
the band, sai d : " Useless— useless Baker let
go the hand, which fell powerless by thedylugman's
side.
Again Booth sank s w ay, and was fast falling when
the surgeon arrived. The letter examined the wound
for some minutes, and said Booth might live for
twenty-four hours.
But Booth's countenance soon changed, his eyes
assuming a glassy appearance. The surgeon then
said he thought be was dying.
About this time Col. Conger left for Washington,
with orderr to bring the body when death ensued to
the boat at Belle Plain.
Booth seemed now to be in the agonies of death.
Iris face was terribly distorted, his chin drawn down
and to one side, countenance turned bluish, and be
seemed to be In the most terrible agony. It was
soon over, however, and the surgeon pronounced
Booth dead. '

tied up the dead man's chin and hands, and closed
his eyes,

the pit deeper. At last, by hook or by crook, she
got a gnatakin and fastened It round his waist, and
he felt quite grand, and took a walk down the street.

When he bad it gathered and Ued, what should

a lick of • club at him. well, as became Tom, ho

" /Upon have o'er a prayer," says Tom, " now's
the time to say it, before I make bathe of you."
"I haven° ra," says the giant; "but if you
spare my life I'll give you th e club; and as long as
You keep from sin you ii win every battle you eve ,

'Tom made noloons bones about letting him off;
and as soon as he got the club in his hands, he sat
down on the bream, and gave it a tap %intake
kippeen, and says:
, Breen', I had great trouble gathering you, and
run the risk of my life for you, the least you can do
hi to carry me home."
And sure enough, the wind o' the yowl was all it
wanted. It went off through the'wood, groaning
and cracking, till it came to the widow's dour.
Well, when the sticks were all horned, Tom was
sent off again to pick more sprigs; and this time he
had to light with a giant that had two heads on him.
Torn had 9 little more trouble with him—that's all;
and the prayers he said, was to give Tom a lite,
that nobody could help when he played it.
Begonios, he made the faggot dance home '
with
blmseff sitting on it. Well, If you were to count
all the steps from this to Dublin, dickens a hit you'd
ever anive there. The next giant was a beautiful
boy with -three heads on him. He had neither
prayers or catechism no more nor the others; and
BO he gave Tom a bottle of green ointment that
wouldn't let you he burred, nor scalded, nor
wounded.
"And how." says be, "there Is no more of us.
You may come and .gather sticks here till little
Lunacy Day in harvest, 'without giant or fah7man
to disturb you."
Well, now, Tom was prouder nor ten pa co
and used to walk down street In the heel at the
evening; but some o' the little boys had no more
manners than If they were Dublin Jackeens, and pet
out their ,tongues at Tom's club, and Tom's goat
skin. tie *didn't like that stall, but It would be
mean to give one of them a clout At last, what
should come through the town but a kind of bell
man, only It's a big bugle be had, and a huntsman's
cap on hie' head, and a kind of a painted shirt. Bo
thhi—be wasn't a bellman, and I don't know what
to call him—teigleman, may b., proclaimed that the
king of Dublin's daughter was so melancholy that
she didn'tgive a laugh for seven year% and that her
father would grant her In marriage to whoever would
make her laugh three times.
"That's; the very thing for me to try," 'aye Tom ;
and so, without burning any more daylight, he kissed
his mother, curled his club at the little boys, and off
he set Mom the highroad to Dublin.
At last Tom came to one of the city gates, and the
=llaughed and cursed at him, Instead of letting
it Tom stood It all for a little time, but at last
one of thein—ont al fun, as ho said--drove his triplet
h a lf an i nc h or so in his side. Tom did nothing bat
take the fellow by th e scruff o' the neck and the
waistband of her conturoya, and fling him into the
canal. Bome ran to pull the fellow out, and others
to let manners into the vulgarian with their screeds
and daggers; but a tap from his Midi sent themtied
langinto the moat or down on the stones, and They
were snore begging him to stay his hands.
Bo atlald one of them wasglad enough to show
Toni the way to the palace yar d; and there was the
leinglind the queen, and the princes, in a gallery,
looking 11)411 sorts of *existents, and sword-p layin
and rinksrinksradices (long dances), and murmuring, g,
W nicest* theprinces but not a smile ever came over
her handsome face.
Well, they all stopped when they saw thoyoung
giant, with his boy's face, and his long, black hair,
and his short, curly b eard—for his poor mother
couldn't afford to bey rashers—and his great, strong
artne, and bare legs, and no covering but the goat
skin-that hatched from his waist to his knees. Bat
an envious, wiezened, bastbard of a fellow, with a
red heed that wished to be married to the princess,
and dldu i t like how she opened her eyes at Torn,
came forward and asked his business very snappishly.
"My busleeek" says Tom, " is to make the beau
fel princess, Ood bless her, laugh three times."
"Do you see all them merry fellows and skillful
swordsmee ?" says the other, "that could eat you
ire with s grain of salt, and not a mother's aoul of
'em ever got a laugh from her these seven year.."
Bo the Idiom; gathered round Tom, and the bad
man aggravated him till he told them be didn't care
a pinch of snuff for the whole - boffin' of 'em; let. 'em
come on, six at a time, and try what they could do.
The king was too tar off to. bear what they were
saying, what did the stranger want.
He wants," Kaye the red-headed fellow, "to
make har ps of your best men."
" I "says the king, "if that's the way, let one
, of them turn out and try his mettle"
So one stood forward, with sword and pot-lid,
and made a cut at Tom. He struck the fellow's el
bow with the elnb, and up over his bead dew the
sword, and down went the owner of It on the gravel
from a thump be got on the helmet. Another took
tds place and another , and another, and then half a
dozen at, once ,• and 'Tom sent swords, helmets,
shields, and bodies, rolling over and over, and them
!elves beirlhig out that they were kilt, and dlsablee,
and damaged, and rubbing their poor elbows and
hip., and limping away. Tom contrived not to kill
any one ; and the princess was so amused that she
let a great silvery laugh out of her that was heard all
over the yard.
" King of Dublin, " says Tom, "I've a quarter of
yonr daughter." Ad the king'dirt not know whether
he was glad or sorry, and the blood la the princess'
heart nutted° her cheeks.
.- . __
Bo there was no more fighting that day, and Tom
was Invited to dine with the royal fatally. Next day
Redhead told Torn of a wolf, the size of a yearling
heifer, that need to be serenading about the walla,
and eating people and cattle; and said what a plena
:we it would give the king to have It killed.
"With all my hest," says Tom ; "send a jackeen to
show me where ho lives, and we will see how he be.
haves to a stranger."
The princess was not well pleased, for Tom look
ed -a different person with doe clothes and a nice
green berrcdb, over his long, curly hair, and be•
sides he'd got one laugh out of her. However, the
king gave his consent; and in au hour and a half
the herrible wolf was walking into the palace-yard,
and Tom;a step or two behind, with his club on his
shoulder:ft:at as ashepherd would bo walking after
a pet lamb.
The king and the queen, and princess were up

themselves up, and began to make for doors and
