hundred nnd fifth
PennBlvanla volun
teers, known as tho
"Uucktuil" regiment, of
which 1 was a private,
was detailed as a
bodyguard of 1'rcsi
dent Lincoln and continued In that ca
paclty until his assassination In the
spring of ISC". During the three yeais
of my stay In Washington, tho most
critical period of the nation's history, I
saw and henrd many things that hnve
never found their way Into the public
prints. Somo or the Iwdyguaid were
constantly with the president and bin
family, whether at fushlonablo levees
receptions to foreign legations or pri
vnto Interviews At all ouch functions
we were silent spectators of all that took
placo. Wo were always treated with the high
eat respect by tho Lincoln family, who re
garded us as a pait of the household Kvory
prlvato of the guaid received the name ntten
tlftiiB of courtesy ns tho mopt famous states
man or diplomat nt tho capital. We all formed
a Btrotig personal attachment for the presl
dent nnd when the grand old man laid down
his lifo In bt'hnlf of the. cause thnt had been
his life work wo felt as IT we had lost the
dearest friend we over nnd.
During tho Mist two years of our term of
service tho most rigid discipline was enforced.
Sometimes wo would be ordered to use ex
traordinary vigilance und to let no ono enter
tho grounds of the White Houne without the
proper passes and to be voiy particular as to
who approached the president. Often tho or
dor would come for the guards on duty to
be doubled. It wus seldom that he knew the
direct cause of those extra precautions, but
we supposed thnt tho otllcers of the hecret
service were in possession of Information of
some plot thnt brooded linrm to the presl
dent.
U; to 1801. owliu; to our vlgllntice aud ttin
protecting hand of I'lovldcuce, our beloved
chief bad enrnped tho hand of iole.nee The
back of the confederacy was broken, a good
feeling pervaded all Washington and conue
qucntly the strict watchfulness that hnil pro
vailed giew Into laxity. This wus the fatal
period, for It was at this time that conspira
cies were hatched mid confederates overran
the city, comparatUely unmolested. The pros
Ident nnd tanilly upent the summer at tho sol
dier's homo, situated ahout three mlloa north
of tho city, and thither the, bodyguaid always

It was in tho sumiuei of ISIM, while we
were up at the home, that an iucldeut hap
pcued thnt emtio very near culminating In
Just such an awful tragedy as followed only a
few months Inter at Ford's theatot It was
tho custom of the prc&Ident to remain late ut
the war department when anything of gioat
Impoitaucu was happening li the army, con
suiting with tho hocretury of war nnd trans
mitt lug nnd tecelving dispatches, and after
his work wus llnlkhod bo would ride out to
tho soldiers' home That summer he had pei
slstently infused an ofcort. Imagining himself
perfectly secure
One night ahout the middle of August I
was doing sentiy dut at the large gate
thiougli which entrance was had Into the
grounds at the home. Tho place Is situated
about a quarter of a mile off the IlladensbuiK
road and Is renched by a dovlotts driveway
About ono o'clock I henrd o rlflo shot In the
direction of the city nnd ohorllv afterward
could hear approaching hoofbeatu. in two oi
thrco minutes the horse came ucu. enough so
that In the dim moonlight 1 recognized th
rldei us the belated president. The homo,
cry spl
belonging to Lamon
the murshal of the
District of Coluni
hiii. was Mr. Lin
coln's favorite sad
die animal and
when he was In the
White House sta
bles he always
ehofie hi in
As horse and rid
er approached the
gate I noticed that
the president was
harelieaded. After I
had iissslled him In checking his bleed the presl
dent mild to mo:
"He cume pretty near Retting nwnj with me
didn't lie? Ho took the hit in his teeth before
I could draw the roliiB."
J then nsked htm where hln hat wat and he
it piled that somebody had lired a gun off down
at the fool of tho hill, which scared his horse,
nnd the lurch of the animal toppled his hat off
I led the horse to the cottage where the presl
dent and his tanilly wan Mn lug There ho din
mounted und went In
Thinking tho proceeding a little strange, a
toiporal and I started In the direction from
which tho report of the gun had been heard, to
InveKtlgate When wo came to the place whop'
i he driveway meets tho main road wo found the
president's hat -a plain silk hat and on examln
lug It found a bullet hole through the corner of
the crown The Bhot had been fired upward nnd
It was evident that tho perron who bnd fired It ,
had secreted himself close to tho roadbido We
listened nnd uenrcbed the locality thoroughly, but
to no avail
The next day I gave Mr Lincoln his hat and
railed bin attention to the bullet hole He uncoil
uTnedly reniarkod that it was put Iheie by some
foolish gunner and was not Intended for hint. He
mid, however, that he wanted the matter kepi
unlet and admonished us to say nothing about It
Tho next fall, after we had taken up our win
ter qunitera at tho White lloune, a conspiracy to
Mdnr.p the president wnt unknowingly frustrated
liy us. Had tho truth of the affair leaked out at
the time It doubtless would havi? floated great
excitement. Our quartern wore Immediately In
Mont of the south porch of tho Kxocutivo Man
hIoii, a position which placed tin at about equal
distance from tho tieasury building on the east
and the war nnd navy building on the west.
For reasons nt the tlmo unknown to ut; we
writ ordered to move oui guard tent and place
ii at tho weal end of the gravel walk, directly
In the rear of tho war department. While we
dtajed there nothing occurred to nroueo suspi
cion. Shortly afterward we lenrned, however,
that on tho very night after we hud moved the
tent the confederates had a plan laid to capture
the president. Tho conspirator were to hldo In

Not long after the uttempted kidnapping an
other episode took place, which afterward was
found to bne been planned by n band of assas

as coachman From tho first he was domineer

Una he was lilHchaip.ed and Uourko reinstated.
One night hhortly afterward, Just about dusk,
the discharged coachman was seen sneaking
around the Mables by some of the guard. The
Ktables hnd been locked for the night and It was
not Mipi.oi:cd that he could do nny dumage and
eoiifccqiienlly the men who saw him did not go
to the ntnbles I'lorentiy the whole Interior of
tho bains was found to he on fire. Tho guard
was culled out and by dint of grent exertion wo
Mived the pi cedent's coach aud team, but Tad
Lincoln's ponies and Col. Hay's carriage team
perished in the llamcs.
The plan was tq have this man fire tho
stables und thus to distract our attention. Dur
ing the incitement some of the conspirators wero
ready to nnh into the White Houso and murder
tho ptcHidont. but Instead of remaining In tho
house Mr Lincoln ran out among us and thus
In all probability frustrated another attempt ut
absnhslnatiou.
What makes this appear more likely now la
tho fact that, after tho lnceitdlniy wus arrested
ho produced i-everal witnesses, who later found
employment at Ford's theater, to testify that ho
was down in tho city during tho whole of the 1
evening. Thero wore tho persona who doubtless
planned the final conspiracy that brought tho

"At first I thought bicycle riding
caused it and I gavo it up, but my con
dition romainod unchanged. I did not
want to acknowledge coffeo caused tho
trouble for I was very fond of it At
that time a friond camo to live with
us, and I noticed thnt after be had
been with us a week ho would not
drink hla coffeo any more I naked him
the reason. Ho roplied. 'I havo not had

I don't soo how unyono can llko coffee,

"I said nothing, but at onco ordered
