James P. Ferguson (restaurant/saloon owner) testified at the conspiracy trial (source: Poore): "The President, at the time he was shot, was sitting in this position: he was leaning his hand on the rail, and was looking down at a person in the orchestra,—not looking on the stage. He had the flag that decorated the box pulled around, and was looking between the post and the flag."

It begs the question: was Lincoln observed looking towards the orchestra- which also could have been in the same direction as looking towards the main floor seating area.
