It was enacted in a theatre be- fore hundreds of horrified men and women, helpless in face of the gross negligence of the au- thorities_in-- guarding the most precious life in the republic. It altered the spirit of the peo- ple and the course of govern- mental action as the country faced the new tests of recon- struction. Its one happy aspect was that it gave the nation a hero who would be more swiftly apotheo- sized than Washington, and be- stances tempted men to Invent]federated, and conspired" with weird hypotheses and offer fan-|Jefferson Davis, among other tastic answers. The guesses grouped them- selves in both instances about three ideas. First it was supposed that so savage a deed must be the pro- duct of a conspiracy, and a con- spiracy far grimmer than was visible on the surface. Second, suspicious men surmised that behind this plot lurked powerful forces; some political faction at home, or foreign adversary. Thirs, some over-subtle analysts were ready to conjecture that the assassin might be the cats- paw of 'some traitor in the gov- ernment. THUGS KILLED LINCOLN In Lincoln's assassination the conspiracy was unquestionable --but what a contemptible little came a greater rallying point of patriot fervor. } EQUALLY DRAMATIC | The murder of John F.

CONFEDERACY BLAMED When Lincoln was slain great numbers of Americans had the hideous idea that the Confeder- acy must have controlled Booth's foul cabal. This sugges- tion found formal support when, on May 10, 1865, the govern- ment indictment of the men ob- viously guilty of plotting Lin- coln's death included a charge Southern leaders, to slay the | president. | For this descreditable accusa- jtion not a shred of evidence was offered. | The first news of Kennedy's jdeath in November,: 1963, brought to many minds some dread names: Racism, Commu- nism, extremism. The happy fact in 1865 was that no suspicion of party or fac- tion, of malice domestic or for- eign levy embodied in any real organization, proved tenable. larly that no possible accusa- tion could be levelled against Communism or fascism, against When Kennedy saw the wild ad- vertisement in a Dallas news- paper assailing him for alleged in the nut country now!" tion, no party, and no respon- sible group can be held account- able for what a poet called "madness risen from hell."
