Broken Fibula - Again!

[Thomas Thorne]

Other than JWB,is there a primary source who stated his opinion-before Booth's version was publicized -that Booth had broken his leg at Ford's? An observed limp could be produced by a back injury or as something as innocuous as a pebble in the boot or minor damage to the boot or leg temporary or otherwise caused by the leap from the box.

We also know that JWB vastly exaggerated the distance he traveled the night of the L.A. and falsely stated he had sustained a compound fracture of the tibia which would have meant the bone was sticking out of the leg. No one else noticed this.

How credible is JWB in describing the cause,nature and effects of his injuries?
