New Lucy Lambert Hale pic? (picture heavy)

[Laurie Verge]

I think John Wilkes Booth was like the proverbial "sailor in every port" when it came to women. As for Kauffman's mention of his and Lucy's "trysts:" again, it lacks solid documentation to me. I bet a judge would rule it hearsay.

I would say also that the word invites a variety of connotations. Holding hands in public was scandalous in 1865. We can assume that, if there was hanky-panky, it was done behind closed doors; therefore, how would either sister or John McCullough or anyone know what truly happened?
