Awww...Peanuts

[RJNorton]

Yep, it was Ferguson. At my age I sometimes don't know if I am imagining something or I really read it somewhere.

"The basket boy at Ford's Theatre was known as 'Peanut John.' (Basket boy being one who carried wardrobes back and forth between the homes of the actors and the theatre in champagne baskets) "He was a dull-witted boy and often mixed up the baskets." p. 12 I Saw Booth Shoot Lincoln by W. J. Ferguson, Pemberton Press, Jenkins Publishing Company, Austin and New York 1969.

I do agree with you and Tom. Peanuts' responses/testimony do not support Ferguson's contention.
