corbett Cor belt who shot booth on tuesday forenoon my superior officer docherty received information that two persons persona answering the description pRon of booth and his accomplice harrold were concealed in a barn on oil the place of henry garrett three miles from port royal in the direction of bowling green near the latter place we captured a man named gelt who ferried booth and his companion across the potomac at first ho be denied knowing anything about abent the matter but when threatened with death if he did not reveal lie ho told where the assassins were secreted ile he told us where they could bo be found and piloted us to the place booth and harrold arrold ll reached the barn about dusk on tuesday evening eveni ncr the barn was at once surrounded by our cavalry and some borne of our party engaged in conversation with booth from the outside ile he was commanded to surrender several times but made no reply to the demand save that if you want me you must take me q when first asked to surrender he asked who do you take me for A short time limo after in response to a qu question estton as to whether there was anybody else els e with him in the barn he be stated he was the only person in the building V and that hii companion 9 harrold had taken another direction and was beyond the reach of capture at three 0 clock or a little after the barn was fired but before the flame was kindled booth had bad the advantage adv anlage of us in respect to light ho he could see sea us bu we could not see him 5 but after that the tables t wore were turned against him we could sec bee him plainly but could not be seen by him bim the flames appeared to cOur confuse ilse him and he made a spring toward the door as if to attempt to force his way out As he be passed by one of the crevices crevi ceE in the barn I 1 fired at him I 1 aimed at his body as I 1 did n not ot want to kill him I 1 took deliberate aim at his shoulder but blit the aim was too high the ball str the head just below the right ear passing g through and coming 0 out about an inch above the left ear I 1 think lie he stopped to pick up something just as I 1 fired that may probably account for his receiving the ball in the head I 1 was not over 8 or 10 yards distant li from him when I 1 fired and after he be was wounded d I 1 went into the barn he was lying in a reclining position on the floor he was then carried out of the burning building into the open air where he be died in about 2 hours afterwards about an hour before he be breathed his I 1 last he pia prayed for us to slide shoot t him through the heart and thus end his misery ills his sufferings appeared to be intense booth although although gh he could have killer killed several of our party seemed to be afraid to fire mine was the only shot fired on either side when he fell he had bad iab in his a hand a six barrelled barrel led revolver and at his feet was lying a seven shooter which he be dropped after being wounded two other revolvers wei beio 0 also eone near arof of him he declared that the arms belonged belong ed tobian and that harrold arrold ll had bad nothing to do with the murder he did not nol talk falk much after receiving his wound and when asked 0 if he had anything lo fo say he rb replied blied I 1 die for my country and asked those standing by 0 to o tell his 1 mother so ile ho deny liis his c
