Another Who Says Booth Is Alive.

Newark, O., April 17.-Christopher
Ritter, who arrived from Germany in
the winter of 1864, and through the
influence of J. Wilkes Booth, secured
position in Ford's theater, tells the
story of Lincoln's assassination, claim
ing that Boston Corbett shot Edward
Fuchs, an actor resembling Booth, and
not President Lincoln's assassin. Rit-
ter is well educated, and his character
is above reproach. He declared he as
sisted Booth to escape, and that they
sailed for Brazil, May 2, 1865. He
soon left Brazil, but met Booth by ap-
pointment at Hamburg eleven years
ago, and on that occasion Booth gave
him the picture of his children, born
to his South American wife, These
pictures, bearing a strong resemblance
to Booth, are now in Ritter's possession.
Ritter says he heard from Booth last
winter, and he was then on the South
American stage.
