Jerry K., can you post any more information/details about this apocryphal report? As far as I know, Johnson only left his room once that evening. This was to make an extremely short visit to Lincoln's bedside at the Petersen House. Then he returned to the Kirkwood House and remained there. In fact Johnson was still there at the Kirkwood House when he was sworn in by Chase at 10:00 A.M. Saturday morning.

I have tried to enlarge that clipping both at home and on my work computer, and all I get is a very distorted, unreadable image.
