The hole In the door

[Craig Hipkins]

In Gifford's testimony he stated that "I understood the government had the gimlet that cut it?" I wonder if he was referring to Booth's gimlet or another one?
Also, I read somewhere that the wood shavings found on Booth's person might have been used as kindling to start a fire. Perhaps they were leftover from when he was staying in the woods with Herold?
