Clara Harris's Bloody Dress

[Linda Anderson]

I believe that one of the problems with Lincoln's wound was that it did not bleed that much and that the doctors were having to remove clots to stop the pressure on the brain. Me thinks Mr. Otis did elaborate a tad...

Mr. Otis does present an interesting, but not too likely, picture of Laura Keene wringing out her soaking wet bridal dress like a rain shower over the unconscious Lincoln.
