"The assassin of Gov. Seward and family is believed, from information received at police headquarters, to be a man named Sattuck, a well-know Maryland Rebel.
"At least six persons were engaged in the conspiracy, four of whom neglected to preform their part in the bloody business assigned them by their chief.
"The report that they effected their escape across the Potomac to Mosby is probably correct."

That article also says, "Fred is still unconscious. The Tribune's special, 5 p. m., says no hopes are entertained of Fred Seward's life."

Is that true - was he unconscious for a long time?
