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

[RJNorton]

I think Seaton Monroe's statement about Keene's dress and the "sorry stains" while she was still in the theater lend a lot of credence to idea she was in close proximity to Lincoln.

I agree, Joe. Even if some of it was Rathbone's blood it indicates proximity. My only problem with it is that it came 31 years later (1896). If it came in 1865 I probably would cease straddling this issue.
