Dr. Mudd Lends a Hand

[L Verge]

Without the supposed photo of "Dr. Mudd," we will never be sure which Dr. Mudd saw the group. I am still inclined to think that it was Dr. George Mudd and that, when the lady read of the assassination details, she assumed Dr. Sam was the one who had treated them.

Dr. Sam was not photographed at the time of his arrest. Were there any photographs of him circulated in papers of the day that she might have used to positively identify her photo? The one lithograph that I am thinking of is literally "sketchy."

It does make for an interesting aside in the story of Dr. Sam, if we could only prove it.
