Thanks, Susan, for posting the images of the article. Reading it is kind of like going through an archeological dig. It was amusing to see how Richard's original description that Mary "called out something I didn't understand, but I recognized the word, "Guerillas" became Mary was "heard to cry something about gorillas".

It's fascinating that Richards gave such a comprehensive and long narrative of events, including how he came to be appointed to his position, despite the factual errors in places. Some of his descriptions are informative, like this one when he returned to the theater and while Lincoln lay dying in the Peterson house "The large crowd in the street was full of suppressed excitement, but was perfectly orderly."
I wonder what became of the "horn handled dirk with a blade about 8 inches long"?
