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

[J. Beckert]

Being he was also very tight lipped about that night, I find Dr. Leale's statement that Keene was there very compelling. It seems only two items were used by Leale to assist in his very basic treatment of the President in the box - a pen knife and some water. If Keene did indeed bring one of them, it seems that maybe at some point the box was cleared out for her.

Just a personal insight on Mr. Gasbarro's blog. While I found it extremely interesting and informative when there was a discussion here of how Keene could have gotten to the box, it seems when he gets an idea in his head, he doggedly pursues that one angle. He's also been rather rude to a member of this forum that has done extensive research on the assassination.
