ST. LAWRENCE HALL.  MONTREAL, June 3. 1865.

I am an actor by profession, at present fulfilling an engagement at Mr. Buckland’s theatre, in this city.  I arrived here on the twelfth of May.  I performed two engagements at Ford’s Theatre in Washington, during the past winter, the last one closing on Saturday evening, twenty-fifth of March.  I left Washington Sunday evening, twenty-sixth of March, and have not been there since.  I have no recollection of meeting any person by the name of Weichmann.  —­John McCullough.

Sworn to and before me, at the United States Consulate General’s, in
Montreal, this third day of June, A.D. 1865. 
 C. H. POWERS, U. S. Vice Consul-General.

If he can be so mistaken about those facts, may he not be in regard to that whole transaction?  It is also proved by Weichmann that before Mrs. Surratt started for the country, on the fourteenth of April, Booth called; that he remained three or four minutes, and then Weichmann and Mrs. Surratt started for the country.

All this comes out on his first examination in chief.  The following is also told in his first cross-examination:  Mrs. Surratt keeps a boarding house in this city, and was in the habit of renting out her rooms, and that he was upon very intimate terms with Surratt; that they occupied the same room; that when he and Mrs. Surratt went to Surrattsville on the fourteenth, she took two packages, one of papers, the contents of the other were not known.  That persons have been in the habit of going to Mrs. Surratt’s and staying a day or two; that Atzerodt stopped in the house only one night; that the first time Payne came to the house he was dressed genteelly, like a gentleman; that he heard both Mrs. Surratt and her daughter say that they did not care about having Atzerodt brought to the house; and at the conclusion, in swearing as to Mrs. Surratt’s character, he said it was exemplary and lady-like in every respect, and apparently, as far as he could judge, she was all the time, from the first of November up to the fourteenth of April, “doing her duties to God and man.”  It also distinctly appears that Weichmann never had any conversation with Mrs. Surratt touching any conspiracy.  One thing is apparent to our minds, and it is forced upon us, as it must be upon every reasonable mind, that in order to have gained all this knowledge Weichmann must have been within the inner circle of the conspiracy.  He knows too much for an innocent man, and the conclusion is perfectly irresistible that if Mrs. Surratt had knowledge of what was going on, and had been, with others, a particeps criminis in the great conspiracy, she certainly would have done more than she did or has been shown against her, and Weichmann would have known it.  How does her nonrecognition of Payne, her acquaintance with Booth, and the delivery of the message to Lloyd, compare with the long and startling array of facts proved against Weichmann out of his own mouth?  All the facts point strongly to him as a co-conspirator.
