Thus Hilliard was made to say that he thought a man who should act the part of Brutus in these times would deserve well of his country ; and Luckett was induced to declare that he knew a man who would kill Lincoln. At length the great arch-conspirator the Brutus, the Orsini of the New World, to whom Luckett and Hilliard, the national volunteers/ and all such, were as mere puppets condescended to reveal himself in the most obliging and confiding manner. He made no mystery of his cruel and desper...ate scheme. He did not guard it as a dangerous secret, or choose his confidants with the circumspection which political criminals, and especially assassins, have generally thought proper to observe. Very many persons knew what he was about, and levied on their friends for small sums five, ten and twenty dollars to further the Captain s plan. Even Luckett was deep enough in the awful plot to raise money for it ; and when he took one of the spies to a public bar-room and introduced him to the Captain/ the latter sat down and talked it all over without the slightest reserve.
