The Bloody Pillow Case

[Warren]

I found in many of my journeys an old scrap book that had, among other things, about 6 large pages of newspaper clippings dealing with Lincoln, the assassination, Booth's last days and death, and the imposter. These clippings appear to be from the early 1880's to late 1890's. I know most of you would have seen these items over the years, but I put them here for whatever they may be worth. The following deals with the relics in the Peterson House as related by Mrs. Rector, Peterson's daughter. I'd like your opinion as to whether this story is correct or not.

I'm sorry they are not in such good order; I'm still trying to learn Imageshack The only thing cut off in the pictures is the a few sentences at the end where she says of Booth's laundry memorandum that, "it perhaps had been there for months, but I suppose some of Mr. Stanton's detectives had found it at the time! We might all have been hanged with Mrs. Surratt. I tremble yet when I think of it." Chicago Herald.
