Did Lincoln pick up Maj. Rathbone amd Miss Harris?

[J. Beckert]

Quote:5. Ms. Harris positively identifies the intruder as "the assassin", and confirms his identity by saying "Upon his entering the box again...".

Very good points, but don't you find it troubling that no one else reported seeing Booth on the level of the dress circle twice? According to Crawford's statement, his chair was in the aisle and he had to move it to let Booth pass. Dr. Todd reported someone pointing and saying "There's Booth" before he entered and fired the shot. Ferguson & Jennie Gourlay both stated they saw his approach and Ferguson was in a perfect spot to observe whomever was coming and going and he never mentioned an earlier visit.

Her statement Booth entered an hour before is an interesting twist, but just like her statement that Laura Keene was never in the box "from first to last", it doesn't seem to be supported by anyone else. No one else would like to believe it more than me, but it's problematic.
