RE: Did Lincoln pick up Maj. Rathbone amd Miss Harris?
I believe more people in the theatre placed Miss Keene in the box than not. I believe James Ferguson, Jeannie Gourlay and Harry Hawk all place her in the box. I believe Seaton Monroe (Munroe) mentions her walking past him covered in blood when talking the president out of the theatre. I believe in later writings, Dr. Leale reports on Miss Keene in the box. Dr. Leale's initial report was written Saturday afternoon and sticks pretty close to the basic facts. I runs a scant 12 pages on 6 by 9 mourning stationery. If I remember correctly, this was written for his superiors, General Barnes and ultimately Edwin Stanton. He kept it pretty succinct.
