RE: Most valuable missing assassination relic
I'm getting in a little late on this thread but I would LOVE to see Powell's hat, overcoat and clothing. According to reports about 1903, these items still existed and were being held in one of the government offices. I've always wondered if they were "buried" somewhere in the Union Station/Greenbelt collections.....and what ever happened to the rest of Powell's personal effects which were in his pockets when captured? His wallet, the pistol cartridges, handkerchiefs, etc.....what happened to those things, I wonder? His comb and toothbrush are at Fords.....

We know that his Bible, which was given him in prison went to Dr Gillette to forward to his parents. They never received it.
