The “rubber box” or did Laura Keene indeed held Lincoln’s head?

[Jim Garrett]

However, I do question the validity of her claim to have made it to the point of holding the President's head in her lap. My instinct (and that is all it is) is that she was probably in the hallway looking in - not actively participating, which would have impeded the doctors' efforts.

My instinct agrees. Maybe she indeed delivered that ominous pitcher of water - but what happened to it? Despite the items found in Lincoln's pocket, could someone kindly help to refresh my memory as for the other items picked up in the box?

No pitcher has surfaced. Found in the box were Deringer, shirt collar, pine bar (in vestibule), hat. Other items, cane and bloodstained flag.
