JWB Breach of Promise incident

[jparkuntz]

I will check to see if the requisition sent or received by the involved governors might still exist.

This has the scent of truth; these were literally the first sentences written about Booth by this Sunday Philadelphia newspaper. I think it was too early for the paper to print a character-impugning rumor--this was the first thing to came to the editor's mind when recalling JWB in Philly. The mention of specific names: the Governors and of Robert M. Lee Jr., also seems like too much detail for a rumor.
