Something to Solve
Get out your Sherlock Holmes hat and magnifying glass 'cause we may have a case to solve. I will hopefully have more details next week, but I rec'd a phone call today from a gentleman whose family "inherited" a cross that supposedly once belonged to John Wilkes Booth and was displayed about 75 years ago in a museum somewhere that was dedicated to the assassin.

They got the cross at the request of a dying man who claimed that he had stolen it from said museum about 75 years before - but he didn't say where that museum was. He just called it the John Wilkes Booth Museum.

In our conversation, there was mention of a tie with Texas. My first instinct is to think of Granbury, Texas, and its tie to the Booth Escaped theory. Anyhow, I'll be back with more when I learn more.

At least this request is better than the 20-30 per year that I get to verify that a photo is of John Wilkes Booth -- when I know full well that it's not...
