New Eyewitness Account?

[RJNorton]

Thanks for the link to the Charles Hamlin account, Anita. On reading it a second time I did notice one difference between the Hamlin version and the image I have in my head. Hamlin notes, "As soon as I could make my way through the retiring audience I ran up the stairs leading to the second story and found they were just bringing the President out of his box, - his wife leading the way with her dress covered in blood weeping and moaning and wringing her hands all the while with the most heartrending sobs."

This is different in that I thought Mary, Clara Harris, and Henry Rathbone followed the entourage. I have not pictured Mary leading it. I wonder if Hamlin might be incorrect in this part of his recollection.
