State Box

Laurie,
I don't have the notes in front of me, but my recollection is that he was lifted from the stage. In fact, he dropped his overcoat, which he had to later retrieve from the police, I believe with some difficulty. So I agree that portal II makes sense, especially with all the congestion at portal I. I have never found any firm evidence, however.

Here's Waud's sketch, but I don't know how he placed Booth where he did.

Great sketch! Thank you!
