During the three yeain of my Htny In Washington, tho most critical period of the nation's history, I saw and heard many things that have never found their way Into tho public prints. Some or the Injdyguaid were constantly with the president and hi family, whether at fashionable leveus receptions to foreign legatlotiB oi pri vnte Interviews At all ouch functions wo were silent spectators of all that pluco. Wo wero always treated with the high eat respect by tho Lincoln family, who re garded us as a pait of the household livery private of tho guaid received the mine atten tions of courtcs as tho most famous states man or diplomat nt the capital We all formed a strong personal attachment for the presl dent and when the grand old man laid down his life In behalf of the enure that had been bis life work wo felt as If we had lost the dearest friend wo over had. During tho llrnt two years of our term of service tho most rigid discipline wiib enforced Sometimes wo would be ordered to use ex traordluary lgllance nnd to let no one enter the grounds of the White House without the proper passes and to be very particular as to who npiroai'hed tho president. Often tho or der would come for the guards sin duty to be doubled. It was hcldom that he knew the direct cause of theso extra precautions, bui wo supposed that tho otllcerH of the secret service were In pouresslou of Information of some plot Hint brooded barm to the jirel dent. Up to 18151. owing to our vigilance aud thw protecting hand of I'lovldcuce. our beloved chief had escaped tho hand of violence The back of the confederacy was liroktin. a good feeling pervaded all Washington und conue que.ntly the strict watchfulness that had (ire vailed glow Into laxity. ThlB wim the fatnl period, for It was at this time that conspira cies were hatched mid confodeiatos overran tho city, comparatively unmolested Tho pros Ideut aud tamlly ;pcut the summer at tho sol dler's home, situated about three nilluu north of tho city, and thither the bodyguntd always accompanied them It was in tho sumiiiei of tStit while we wero up at (he home, that an incident hap peued that cauui very near culminating In Just such an awful tiagedy as followed only a fovv months Inter at Ford's theatct It was the custom or the president to remain late nt the war department when anything of gieat Impoitanco was happening U the aimy, eon suiting with tho secretary of war and trans mlttlug and tecelviiig dispatches, and after his work was llulshod ho would ride out to tho soldiers' homo That summer he had pci slstently infused an escort, Imagining himself perfectly s,eouro One night about (he middle of August I was doing sentiy dot,, nt the large gate thiough which entrance was had into the grounds at the home. Tint place Is situated about a quarter of n milo off tho IlladensbuiK road and Is reached by a devious driveway About one o'clock I heard a rifle shot In the direction of the city nnd short!) aftenvurd could heur approaching boofbents. In two or thrco minutes the horse came uou, tnongh so that iu tho dim moonlight 1 recognized the rider us the belutud president. The horao, a very splnted one. belonging to Lamou ihc marshal of the District of Colum bia, was Mr. Lin coln's favorite sad die animal and when bo was In the White House sta bles he always chose hi in Ah horse and rid er approached the gate I noticed that tho president was liareheaded. After I had nssslled him In checking his steed the presl dent said to me: "He came pretty near getting nway with me didn't heV Hit took the hit In Ills teeth before I could draw tho rolns." I ihon asked him where his hat vvn6 and he itpllnl that somebody had Hied n gun off down at the foot of tho hill, which seared his horse, and the lurch of the animal toppled bis hat off I led the horse to the cottage where the presl dent and IiIb tamlly was sta.ilng There he dls mounted and went iu Thinking tho procetdiug a lilt!" strange, it toiporal and I staited In the direction from which tho leport of the gun had been heard, to Investigate When wo citmo to the place when ihe drlvewoy meets tho main road wo found the president's hat -a plain ulllc hat aud on exaniln tug It found a bullet bole through the corner of (he crown The Bhot had bfen tired upward and it was evident that tho person who bad fired H had secreted himself clor.e to the roadside W' listened and aeniched the locality thoroughly, but to no avail The next duj I gave Mi Lincoln his hat and uilled hiri attention to the bullet hole He uncoil (iTiiedly remarked that It wtm put Iheie by somi foolish gunner and wan not Intended for him. He tald, however, that lie wanted Hie matter kept unlet and admonished us to say nothing about It Tho next fall, after we had taken up our win ler qunrtcrs at tho White House, a conspiracy to kidnap the president wns unknowingly frustrated hy us. Hud tho truth of the aft'ulr leaked out at the time It doubtless would have ctcatcd great excitement Our qunrterM were immediately In ft out of tho south pot eh ol tho Kxecutlve Man sion, .1 position which placl us at about equal illstuiict: from tho tieasury building on (ho oast at. d the war and navy building on tho west. For teusons at tho II mo unknown to us we weie ordered to move out guard tent and place H nt tho west end of the gravel walk, directly Iu the rear of tho war department. While we majed there nothing occurred to uiouro suspi cion. Shortly afterward we learned, however, that on tho very night after wo had moved the tent tho confederates had n plan laid to capture the president. Tho conspirator wero to hide In the shrubbery aud when tho president enmo along the walk (hey were to hcl.e, gag and carry him across the river Into Vlrglnln. Thonco ho wns to bo taken to Richmond or some other confed erate stronghold, where h wii3 to bo hold rb a hostage The members oi tho bodygunrd rlwnys Htipio'cd (hat the conspirators wero frightened away when (hoy saw our gunrd tent and abandou'd the dan of kidnapping. Not long tiftei the nt tempted kidnapping an other epl.xede took place, which afterward was found to have heen planned by a bund of assas sins who made theii lu-ndquarters iu the city, liouike, the veteran loachmau, who had served at tho V.'liii House thiough Helen's and Huclinn mi's administrations and thus far Into Lincoln's, was t niton ?lck and compelled to he off d ity Imnudlatel.v a rtinnger, who represented him self as an eporlind eoachmnn fiom Baltimore, npplh'd at the While House and was employed as coat liinaii From the (list he was domineer ing and nfiei a lew weeks became so important that he was dlschaiged nud llourko reinstated. One night shortly afterward, just about dusk, the discharged coachman was seen sneaking around the Hnhlca by some of tho guard. The stables had been locked for the night and It wiib not siip:ocd that he could do any damage and consequently the men who saw him did not go to the tlnbb'S l'ie.-eiitly thu whole Interior of tho hams wits found to bo on tire. Tho gunrd wan called out aud by dint of great exertion wo saved the pi cedent's coach and team, but Tad Lincoln's ponies and t'ol. I lay's carriage team perished in the (lames. The plan was to have this man fire tho stables and thus to distract our attention. Dur ing the excitement some of tho conspirators wero ready to ruth Into the Whllo house and tnurder the picsidmt, but Instead of remaining In tho house Mr Lincoln ran out among us and thus Iu nil probability frustrated another attompt at assassination What makes thl appear more likely now Is tho fact that, after the Inceudlniy was arrested ho produced several witnesses, who later found employment at Ford's theater, to tostlfy that ho wns down in tho city during tho whole of tho evening. Thcso wero tho porsons who doubtless planned tho tluul conspiracy that brought the grout benefactor to the uravo.
