Identification of Booth's body

Out west for sure, Finis Bates has him in Texas and Enid, OK
Ray Neff has him in India.

His non co-conspirator, John Surratt, was seen in Canada, England, Italy and Egypt.
Intentionally mis-identifying Booth's body carries huge consequences.

There is a slight problem, Otto Eisenschiml devotes an entire chapter in his book, In the Shadow of Lincoln's Death, that it was most likely John Wilkes Booth who was shot and killed at the Garrett farm, but Eisenschiml does leave himself a little wiggle room.

"In all probability, and giving due weight to all aspects of the case, Herold felt certain that it was Booth, and no one else, who had been shot" p.65

"Pending further developments, the contenders for the orthodox theory have by far the better case, although it does not stand proven" p.87.
