President Lincoln Assassinated
Seventy Years Ago Monday
Copy of the New York Her-
ald of April 15, 1865, TeHs
Of Tragedy Enacted in
Ford's Theatre, Washing-
ton.
Abraham Lineoln was fatally
wounded while attending Ford's the-
atre in Washington seventy years ago
last Monday. A copy of the New
York Her'ald of that date, recently
found by Mrs. Charles G1e'w, recalls
the tragedy.
The paper, in excellent condition
despite its age, appears in deep
mourning in respect to the memory
of the assassinated President.
According to tlhe despatches, the
ass►asLin approached the President,
who was seated in -a private box,
from 'behind and fired a shot which
entered the back of his head and
came out in the temple. Yelling, "The
s'ou'th is revenged," the person jump-
ed from the box to the stage and
made his escape by a back entrance.
•
Cavalry men were despatched in ev-
ery direction, the Herald' continues,
it is thought the man ' will be cap-
tured.
Lincoln was removed to a nearby
private house near the theatre and
died at 22 minutes past seven o'clock
that merneng.
About the same time a man forced
his way into the apartments of Sec-
retary Seward and inflicted two or
three stabs on his throat and two
on his face. In an official statement
EdwiM. Stanton, Secretary of War,
states `lie believes the wounds will
prove f ai.
In the same paper despatches
from the south indicate that Ridh-
miond is being evacuated and that the
Union Army is but a few miles away.
The State Legislature is- being con-
vened
onvened at Lynchr'burg. Jefferson Dav-
is, eonfederate President, in a state-
ment in the Danville Register of 'Vir-
ginia, and copied by the Herald, says'
in part that lie will never consent to
abandon to the enemy oalle foot of
the soil of any of the States Of dm
Confederacy.
