John, my issue with this is in attempting to reconcile these two accounts:

Attorney Seaton Munroe said, "Her hair and dress were in disorder, and not only was her gown soaked with Lincoln’s blood, but her hands, ever her cheeks where her fingers had strayed were bedaubed with the sorry stains."

Dr. Charles Sabin Taft reported, "The wound in the head had been found before leaving the box, but at that time there was no blood oozing from it."
