The Bloody Pillow Case

[Eva Elisabeth]

Hi Anita, the link doesn't work for me, is it the same one as in your post #20? (That one does work.)

Re: "When Mr. Lincoln was carried to the house he had on a pair of rubbers", what I don't understand - why would Lincoln,

1. leaving the White House in a hurry as the play had already begun, have spent time on putting on overshoes?
2. being dropped off the carriage directly at the theater entrance with little or no way to walk through mud, have decided to wear overshoes at all - at a theater visit?? (And what about the ladies?)
3. not put off the overshoes at the theater? And I can hardly imagine before the shot Lincoln was carried to Peterson House, the docs had (ordered to) put his overshoes on again...
4. have reached the pillow with his feet?

PS: I would love to read the articles, Warren, but have no idea how it works to download them.
