Nobel Prize in Chemistry, 1914 (and, sadly, no relation, despite our same last names and states of birth): www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/chemistry/laureates/1914/... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theodore_William_Richards He married one of his professors' daughters; in turn, his daughter married a chemistry professor too--James Bryant Conant became president of Harvard. So this is Richards' son-in-law: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Bryant_Conant And this is one of his grandsons, Ted Conant: library.columbia.edu/indiv/eastasian/korean/rarespecial/c...

Obviously the same Ritter who affirmed to have received USD 400 from Ernst (Ernest) Ludwig, the Austrian consul at Cleveland, for affidavits charging that the liner Lusitania carried guncotton when sunk. (The New York Times, December 3, 1915)
E. Ludwig:
In other sources he is named "Dr. Ritter von Rettegh", see www.cardinalhistory.com/uploads/1/2/6/4/12646906/scn_0013..., Page 50 N. 5.
Another article about him in Rogue River courier., December 01, 1915, DAILY EDITION, Page 1 , column 5 "PROPOSED LIQUID FIRE AS WEAPON TO TAKE WILSON'S LIFE".
In 1921, Dr. E. W. Ritter, alias Dr. Wisky Ritter von Rettegh was charged of passing bogus checks (The Washington times., September 25, 1921, SUNDAY AFTERNOON, Page 26, "DOCTOR WANTED HERE AS FORGER JUMPS HIS BOND")
