The conspiracy trial to-day brought out many new points recanimc the nieht o! Booth.

Colonel Conger, one of Colonel L. C. Baker's detectives, gave a very interesting . account f Booths capture, but Litutmaut Baker knows more of the dying moments than Colonel Conger, and will probably be ca led ;o morrow or Lext day. COKBETT'S TESTIMONT. - ' Sergeant Corbet testified to the shooting of Booth. He appeared in C tit with his hair parted in the middle, and delivered himsilf of uis story very much like a .the ttrical speaker, and admitted that he shot Booth to kill hiui. without orders, because he thought his tirpe had come.
