So now we've got a witnesses who claims Booth was playing pool in Montreal and witnesses who claim he was in Boston bowling and shooting guns between his legs. Isn't research fun? Who do you believe?

I'm leaning towards Montreal. Booth was in financial straits at the time and there was money there. I'm sure he would have gotten paid for giving a dramatic reading, if nothing else. But I could be convinced otherwise.

Yes, research is fun, Jerry! It's like doing a puzzle where there are pieces are all over the place and some of them don't even belong in the puzzle at all.

I believe John Pendergast who remembers seeing Booth at the shooting gallery.

Here's an article that Susan Wilson wrote titled "Boston, the Booth Brothers, and the Parker House."

Here's an article on property on Commonwealth Ave that Booth purchased and placed in his mother's name
