JWB Breach of Promise incident

[Steve]

The incident, if it happened, would've had to occurred in the summer of 1858 when Booth left an extended performance at the Arch Street Theatre in Philadelphia to start an extended performance in Richmond. I checked the newspapers at the time and found no mention of the incident, so if it happened it was kept pretty quiet. Considering this newspaper article came out a couple of days after the assassination, I would have to attribute it to some of the unsubstantiated rumors that were flying around at the time unless some evidence corroborating it is found.
