NEW BOOKS
6NE HUNDRED YEARS AGO A. right, above, ii re
produced the U.S. War Department poster ottering re-
- wards tor the capture of President Abraham Lincoln's as
sassin, actor John Wilkes Booth, and fellow-conspirators.
It was issued just 100 yean ago on April 20, 1863, five
days after Lincoln died. Curiously, Booth, the actual Itill-
er, is not named in full anywhere in the poster. It may
have been an oversight in the hasty printing or, more
' likely, the authorities assumed that everyone knew that
, the fugitive was John Wilkes Booth. However, two ac
complices, John H. Surratt and Daniel C. Harrold, were
,., named under the portions of the $ 1 00,000 reward offered
jor them. Six days later Booth was trapped and shot to
death in a burning bara on a farm near Port Royal, Va.
Surratt fled to Europe, but was brought back in 1867.
He was tried, but benefited from a hyig jury. He was
indicted again but not tried. Ironically, one of the four
persons hanged for complicity in the crime was his
mother, Mrs. Mary E. Surratt. Lincoln was shot in Ford's
Theater on Good Friday, April 14, 1863, while enjoying
a popular comedy. At left is reproduced the playbill for
that night's performance, a copy of which was found un
der the President's seat after the assassin struck. The
show was the last Washington performance of "Our
American Cousin," starring the "distinguished manager
ess, authoress and actress" Laura Keene.

Infection with Polyoma virus
leads to development of many

Dr. Weil also said experimental

that Polyoma contains some im
