Mudd Info Needed

[bob_summers]

I don't have any information about the bed, although the room Booth slept in is the same room my mother lived in growing up on the Mudd farm. I suppose the bed is one of the many things I never thought to ask her about.

Regarding Booth's horse, Thomas Davis, a worker at Dr. Mudd's farm, who took care of horses, was taken along with Dr. Mudd to Carroll Prison, where he was interviewed on April 29th. Davis said of Booth's horse: "One was a roan horse… a mark about the saddle where he had been hurt; his shoulder was swelled up right smart… the swelling of the shoulder was fresh…"

Fresh injury to a horse causing a broken leg to a man? Could be. See the prison interview here.
