A.—Yes; John H. Surratt, Herold, and Atzerodt were there together.
Q.—What did they bring to your house, and what did they do there?
A.—When they drove up there in the morning, John H. Surratt and Atzerodt came first; they went from my house and went toward T. B., a post office kept about five miles below there. They had not been gone more than half an hour when they returned with Herold; then the three were together—Herold, Surratt, and Atzerodt.
Q.—What did they bring to your house?
A.—I saw nothing until they all three came into the bar-room, I noticed one of the buggies—the one I supposed Herold was driving or went down in—standing at the front gate. All three of them, when they came into the bar-room, drank, I think, and then John Surratt called me into the front parlor, and on the sofa were two carbines, with ammunition. I think he told me they were carbines.
Q,—Anything besides the carbines and ammunition?
A,—There was also a rope and a monkey-wrench.
Q.—How long a rope?
A.—I cannot tell. It was a coil—a right smart bundle—probably sixteen to twenty feet.
Q.—Were those articles left at your house?
