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

Kees, I won't comment on everything - just one. Remember Bronson, on April 16, 1865, wrote his sister about seeing Keene in the box, and people wondered if Bronson was somehow confused by what he had read in the two days after the assassination. And now Coyel refers to "the graphic description of which event will be remembered by all those who read the account at the time." What "graphic description" is this? So I would ask the same as you - "What report?" Did at least some of the newspaper accounts, either Saturday (the 15th) or Sunday (the 16th), carry articles on the assassination which specifically mentioned Keene was in the box?
