A Wonderful Find ...

[Craig Hipkins]

Good work on that article Bill and Rick! Thanks for posting it. If anything it proves that Booth COULD have shot himself. I guess no one will ever know for certain if Booth took his own life, but it makes for an interesting discussion!
There is still the matter of the eyewitness accounts who could clearly see Booth through the wide openings between the boards. None of them saw Booth raise his pistol and shoot himself, most importantly Baker who surely would have reported it.
As far as the "spent percussion cap" Joe, it might still be out there at Garrett's Farm, although probably rusted into oblivion by now!
