Clara Harris's Bloody Dress

[J. Beckert]

Keene's cuff is in the collection of the Smithsonian. It's displayed as Laura Keene's bloody cuff from the night of the assassination, purportedly stained with Lincoln's blood. A purported dress fragment is also owned by the Chicago Historical Society. I guess if it were proven to be Rathbone's blood, it would be a little disappointing, but it's still a bloody relic of that night.
