Conspirators' bodies

[Dennis Urban]

I also doubt that Lincoln's body was "re-embalmed" during the trip to Springfield. In order to do so, his veins would have to be open and pliable which I doubt was the case after the first embalming. Also consider what would have happened to the original embalming fluid in the closed vessel of the human body. No doubt the original embalmer, knowing with whom he was dealing, forced as much fluid into the body as could be accepted. Could the fluid leak out, be further absorbed, evaporate? I accept the cosmetic touch up as I have read in several sources ILO introducing more fluids into the already hardening body.
