Authored 3 years after Edwin Booth’s death by his devoted property man, “Garry” Davidson's story was reprinted in at least two other newspapers: “Burned Booth’s Clothes: How Edwin Disposed of his Brother’s Stage Costumes”, Galveston Daily News, March 1, 1896 and “Booth’s Clothes. How Edwin Disposed of his Brother’s Stage Costumes,” Denver Post, March 14, 1896.

Thanks for mentioning this. I don't recall reading about it before.
Strangely, I just read about this in the past week, as it is mentioned and possibly quoted (four pages) in the book I just reviewed, "Booth and the Spirit of Lincoln".

It starts in the lower right of page 271,..... "The Last of John Wilkes Booth....."

The photo is also discussed on another thread, "New Booth Photo"
