Roger, about Louis's original name (I guess) Aloysius, I found this at namenerd.com:

Louis, Lewis, Aloysius

Lewis is the English form of Louis, a French name coming from the Germanic Ludwig, which comes from the words meaning "fame" and "warrior." Aloysius is a Latin form this name.

And from behindthename.com:

Meaning & History
Latinized form of Aloys, an old Occitan form of LOUIS. This was the name of a 16th-century Italian saint, Aloysius Gonzaga. The name has been in occasional use among Catholics since his time.

And there's the origin of the name of the school, Gonzaga, where so many characters in the assassination story attended, taught, or had a connection to. This book is interesting, In The Web of History, Gonzaga College and the Lincoln Assassination by Paul Warren.

Halloween is coming - can anyone tell where this came from (art effect added)?

"I desire to thank you, sir, for your testimony on behalf of my murdered father." "Who are you, sonny? " asked I. "My name is Tad Lincoln," was his answer.
