The hole In the door

[RJNorton]

IMO Booth made the hole, but I remain unconvinced that he made a dry run at c.9:30 P.M. I cannot understand why no one else claimed the dry run other than Clara Harris. As I understand the seating arrangement, Rathbone was sitting on the couch at somewhat of an angle - I would think he would be first to see someone peering in at the box. But I do not recall Rathbone claiming Booth made a prior trip. Also, we have many eyewitnesses to Booth approaching the box at c.10:15 P.M., but none other than Clara noticed the dry run? This does not make sense to me. At this point I think Clara was confused. Keep in mind that Clara also was adamant that Laura Keene was never in the box after President Lincoln was shot; this statement is also in conflict with other eyewitness accounts.
