RE: Booth's Body
As far as can be truthfully determined, the idea of Powell using a skull for an ashtray sprang from Doster's argument in which he stated that Powell "...further believes in Heaven and General Lee; dresses himself in the clothes of Union dead; stands guard over starving prisoners; also has his cup carved out of some Federal skull...." This is just a dramatic assumption on Doster's part; there is no positive proof that he had such a thing. I myself, doubt it. Did Powell smoke? We know he did chew; one list of the contents of the pockets of Powell's discarded overcoat lists a pipe and paper of tobacco....
