RE: Tad Lincoln's music teacher, William Withers jr?
I just received this quick reply from Richard:

Yeah. I know Withers's claim about having taught Tad to play the drums. Off the top of my head, I think he made that claim in the article about his coat, but I'm sure he said that in other interviews, as well. Withers liked to brag and embellish. His claim that he helped convict some of the conspirators is a prime example. He claimed that he testified about Spangler wanting to dim the gaslights, but we know that he didn't testify about any such thing. Yes, his veracity is questionable. Trouble is, I can't go through my Withers file right now. MY HEAD IS ABOUT TO EXPLODE bec. I have so many things to do over the next two weeks... and a cruise to Alaska. I'll keep it in mind, but prob.won't get to it til late August. Withers DID lead a band at the 2nd Inaug. Ball if that is something someone doubts.
