Thank you for not crowning me with a spit as my prize! P.S. I think the Surratt Courier may have carried this story many long years ago in dealing with the aborted kidnapping.

The book where I saw the story was Stanley Kimmel's The Mad Booths of Maryland.

What about an umbrella (or period parasol)?

I should have thought of that!
