Seward Attack

[Rsmyth]

Was it a diamond stick pin?
As Booth lay dying on the porch of the Garrett farmhouse, Colonel Everton Conger searched his pockets. Conger removed a stone set in jet and gold stick pin from Booth’s undershirt. In 1863 Booth and black face comedic actor Dan Bryant exchanged gifts with Bryant receiving a flask. In all likelihood, this was the pin General Edward Davis Townsend received from General Thomas Eckert, Assistant Secretary of War, in August 1865.
