Wilkes Booth, the assassin of Abraham
Lincoln, is credited with saying that Booth
is not dead. She declares that in 1867, two
years after Booths supposed death, she re-
ceived letter without date or signature,
but Enthusiastically in Booths handwriting.
This letter, she says, is still in existence. As
to the probabilities of the man shot by Bos-
ton Corbett being Wilkes Booth, she points
out that the body was closely guarded and
secretly buried without an opportunity
having been given for identification by any
of those intimately acquainted with him.
She believes that the man killed was one 0
the conspirators and that Booth made good
his escape, but that in the excited and clam
orous condition of the public mind it was
thought best by the authorities. if they
knew OF the deception, to allow, it to pas
unchallenged, in order to allay the fever o'
excitement which the assassination had
aroused.
