New Development in Booth Case Coming Soon

David E. George first appears, with certainty, in the historical record in the 14 April 1897 issue of the Evening Messenger newspaper of Marshall, Texas (in Harrison County) with a mention that "D. E. George of Dallas" had just began a stay at the Ginocchio Hotel the prior day.

This may or may not be something, but I found a D. E. George living in Harrison County, Texas in an 1878 tax assessment. This is 19 years prior. Also, the Ginocchio was located next to a railway depot so David E. George could've just been staying there as rest stop or a place to get off the train looking for a job. Not to mention the 1878 D. E. George is just initials and it could just be a coincidence that they match. So far I haven't been able to link the tax record to a specific person yet.
