New Development in Booth Case Coming Soon

[RJNorton]

Thanks to Steve Whitlock for sending these articles. Steve W. writes, "The 1st attachment has information pertaining to Laura Ida (Booth) Levine starting at bottom of 1st column on the left and continuing thru col. 2 & 3. The 2nd attachment alludes to Junius Brutus Booth III identifying the remains of David E. George, which would necessitate going to Enid; however, further on it mentions that Finis Bates went back East and got a positive identification from "the dead man's nephew" (that would be Junius III). I missed that Junius was only identifying a tintype. Personally,I don't think the tintype looks all that much like JWB.

Note also in the 2nd attachment that Clara Morris is said to be one also identifying David E. George as John Wilkes Booth, a claim denied by Clara Morris in the 3rd attachment.
