Clara Harris's Bloody Dress

[RJNorton]

No source can confirm that Rathbone was actually in uniform, while an article from the Times-Union, Albany's paper and Rathbone's hometown, states that Lincoln picked up Henry dressed in mufti, civilian clothes.

The only trial testimony regarding Rathbone's dress (that I know of) would indicate he was in civvies. James P. Ferguson testified, "Then the gentleman in citizen’s clothes, whom I learned afterwards was Major Rathbone, sat back almost in the corner of the box." (from Poore)
