The story

New York police sergeant John Kennedy, who had guarded Abraham Lincoln on the campaign trail, has infiltrated a cabal and discovered that an assassination attempt has been planned as Lincoln, the president-elect, travels by train to Washington, D.C. Kennedy's boss Simon G. Stroud dismisses the threat, as does Caleb Jeffers, a militia colonel with whom Stroud is meeting.
