Did Booth have another pistol?

[Craig Hipkins]

Bill,
I recall something about this but forget the source. I believe it had something to do with a matching set of pistols. That may be the case, but I believe that if Booth had two derringer pistols at Ford's that night he would have surely used one on Major Rathbone. I suppose that it is possible that he carried two pistols. Those percussion caps were sometimes known to be faulty, and if it misfired he would have had a back up. If I were Booth set on doing this evil deed I would have carried two pistols...but Booth was Booth and who can tell what his reasoning might have been.
