Lincoln vs Booth mano a mano

[J. Beckert]

That's it, Roger. It's an early account, so there may be something there. I wonder why no one else reported seeing him twice in the dress circle? With all the eyewitness accounts, she's the only one who mentioned this. I think it's very interesting, but I don't remember hearing Booth attempted to stab Lincoln.

This also makes me wonder, if it's true, if Booth encountered Parker the first time. This would explain him having to pass whatever he did to Forbes. Identifying himself a second time to a different person? Seems if he got by once, he may not be questioned a second time.
