I see that there is a suggestion that David Herold tried to poison Lincoln.

This has a very good image of the pane of glass with the message about poison.

(Note the spelling of Herold/Harold ... one of the reasons for me creating this Thread)

"David E. Harold, the vainglorious, shallow-minded drug clerk who rode with Booth that night of April 1865, was employed in William S. Thompson's drug store at Fifteenth street and Pennsylvania Avenue, in Washington D.C. There the President was accustomed to having his prescriptions filled, and it was known that Harold was an easy tool in Booth's hands. It is believed that on one occasion during the summer of 1864, the President actually had unknowingly taken poison in the drugs which had been prescribed by his physician, and prepared by Harold, to no ill effect. "

Ive tried to check how much of this been covered before on this Forum but found only partially in the thread "What Was The Role of David Herold". Steve, Dennis Urban and Susan Higginbotham were among those that discussed the occupation of Herold and the address of a druggist.

The MCHenry House Window Pane thread discussed the window pane, as does
