William Henry Heiss
Over on Dave's blog he has a piece on Dr. Mudd's canes. Dave shows a picture of one cane on display at the Mudd House/museum that has a tag that says it was given to William Henry Heiss. There was a William Henry Heiss living in DC at the time. Early in 1862, William was appointed Assistant Superintendant of the United States Military Telegraph and was at this position on April 14th. William also went to Fords that night to see his brother Courtland Van Rensaller Hess, perform in the role of Lieutenant Vernon. However, Courtland had taken ill and the part that fateful night was instead played by William Ferguson. I wonder what the connection was between Heiss and Mudd.
