Herold, a fellow-conspirator, finallymade his way into Maryland, where eleven days after the assassination thetwo were discovered in a barn on Garretts farm near Port Royal on theRappahannock. The barn was surrounded by a squad of cavalrymen, whocalled upon the assassins to surrender.

When the fire first blazed up Booth crept on his hands and knees to thespot, evidently for the purpose of shooting the man who had applied thetorch, but the blaze prevented him from seeing anyone.
