Alabama Lady Who Claims Evidence
That Lincoin's Assassin Was Not Shot in
the Barn.
CHICAGO, April ga story from Br-
mingham is published here in which
Louise Worcester, at one time a conf
dant of J. Wilkes Booth, the assassin of
Abraham Lincoln, Is credited with say
ing that Booth is not dead. She de-
clarcs that in 1867, two years after
Booths supposed death, she received u
letter without date or signature, but un-
mistakably in Booths handwriting. As
to the probabilities of the man shot by
Boston Corbett being Wilkes Booth, sho
points out that the body was closely
guarded and secretly buried without an
opportunity having been given for idon.
tiiication by any of those intimately
acquainted with him. She believes that
the man killed was one Of the conSpira-
tors and that Booth made good his cs.
cape; but that in the excited and clam
orous condition of the public mind it
was thought best by the authorities, il
they knew of the deception, to allow it
to pass unchallengcd in order to allay
the fever of excitement which the assas-
sination had aroused.

SPRINGFIELD, O., April 9l.--A publ,
baptism service in Buck Creek was
changed into a baptism of blood ycster-
day afternoon by the collapse of
crowded bridge upon which fully 200 peo.
pie were standing. Eleven persons were
to be baptized by Elder ID. b. Green,
pastor of the Third Baptist Church

gated along the banks and ad dacent
bridges to watch the ceremony. The
crowd upon the Limestone street bridge
and the adjoining bridge over War.
der's race was especially large. The
bridge over the race was about I feet
wide and formed continuance of tho
sidewalk approach 1t was supported
only by stone wall underneath, from
which it projected, and few iron
strlngers eaten out by rust. just before
the first postulant for baptism was sent
into the water there was a scream and a
crash, followed by an development Of
dust, and fully $50 people we're hnrl, d
fifteen feet into tho race, amid the
debris of timber, twisted iron
and masses of loosened rock. Tho
sight was horrifVing, and tho women
lining the bank tainted by dozens. Tho
main bridge sank six inches at one cor
ner, and as the crowd surged upon it
was heard to crack ominously. They
were driven back by a few cool-headcd
men, and another catastrophe avertcd.
The work of rescue was commenced at
once, and nearly every physician in the
city was summoned. Among the 150 who
went down in the crash many were PIN
ned down by large stone slabs from tho
abutmcnt, and were only able by terrible
effort to keep their heads above water
while their limbs and bodies were being
crushed and mutilatcd by the timbers
and stones, Mayor Burnett and de-
tail of police, assisted by the patrol
force and Western engine house iiremen,
were promptly on the spot and did he
roic service, as did many spectators.
The bridge will have to be rebuilt en-
tire, and many damage suits against the
city arc likely to grow out of the acci-
| dent. The number Of injured are fully
fifty, some of whom will die.
