I believe that Rathbone could not and did not see Booth until the shot was fired.
The ParK Service also has several coats and trousers that belonged to Henry.

The NPS has two of Rathbones uniforms. They also have two civilian vests, one white and the other black. The black vest is very much stained on the front left lining that could be blood...alot of blood. The NPS will never test the stains, so for now, it is conjecture, though good conjecture, that the black, shaw collared vest was worn of the 14th.
