New Development in Booth Case Coming Soon

[Steve]

Here are some new documents and newspaper articles:


Marriage bond of Louisa Payne and John W. Booth





Marriage license back then front of Louisa Payne and John W. Booth



Interview of Laura Ida Booth on pg. 12 of the 13 Sept. 1903 issue of the New York Sun





Article in the 24 Dec. 1911 issue of The Tennessean (Nashville)







Article in the 14 Nov. 1926 issue of The Tennessean, the year after Laura Ida Booth died

Comparison of the supposed signature of the Tennessee John Wilkes Booth (from the image in the 1911 article) with a known signature of the assassin John Wilkes Booth from an endorsement from a Feb. 1863 check sent to him from his brother Edwin. The point I'm trying to make is the supposed cut out "J. Wilkes Booth" signature of the Tennessee JWB shown to the newspaper in 1911 is probably a forgery based on the signature of the assassin JWB.
