Lucas cabin

[Rhatkinson]

If I am not mistaken, about now 148 years ago, the Lucas family was brought into a great tragedy. I still maintain that Lucas or someone in his family was the "source" mentioned in Woods' report. This was the evidence he had to believe that JWB broke his leg on the jump at Ford's rather than during the horse fall. What else could it have possibly been?

The Lucas family was in a terrible position having been already implicated in placing Booth and Herold at Col. Cox's home (and testifying that Col. Cox allowed them inside against the Col's testimony.) There is no way they could survive having been the source of information that Cox KNEW who Booth was when he allowed him into his home (thus the re-cantment of the "how JWB broke his leg" story.)
