Lincoln's Assassination.

TIE New York Herald publishes
the following telegram from Balti-
more:
James K. Ford, brother of the late
John Il. Ford, who sent the theatre
tickets to President Lincoln on the
morning of the assassination and
called on Mayor Richard Wallack to
ouell the riot in the theatre after the
shot was fired, has made the follow
ing statement. "On the morning OF
the assassination Mr.. Lincoln's
messenger came to the theatre about
8 clock, as was his almost weekly
custom, and asked Mr.. Ford for
tickets for Mr.. Lincoln, Mrs. Lincoln
and General Grant.
"AIr. Ford told theatre attache
at 10 o'clock to write notices for the
afternoon papers announcing that
the President and party would be at
the theatre that night. At II o'clock
John Wilkes Booth in black coat
and high silk hat and carrying u
gold-headed cane, was seen lelsurely
approaching the theatre for his
morning mail.
Harry Ford, addressing James r.
! Ford, remarked: 1ere CONES ollo
handsomest man in Washington.
Booth opened pack of letters, many
of which were from female admirers.
Harry Ford told the news Of Lees
surrender to Booth. Booth replied,
He should never have given up that
sword Harry Ford began to twlt
him, and he said that Lee, hand
cufred, would be in one of the boxes
that night. and Lincoln and Grant
in the opposite box.
James Ford said this was the first
intimation Booth had that the Presi-
dent would be at the theatre that
night. Following the conversation,
James Ford and Booth walked out
together. Mr. Ford was bound to
the Treasury Department. to get flags
to decorate the Presidents box. This
was the last he saw of Booth.
