The Spur Question

[Dennis Urban]

Upon further re-reading from various sources, it is unknown if Forbes kept whatever was handed to him. In the only statement Forbes provided many years later he does not say. If JWB handed him something (writings contain various descriptions of what this was) and took it back, why were these items not found on JWB's person when apprehended? It is plausible that he discarded them, but why; his identity was easily known. Plus he had his diary (day book) with him which he must have carried on his person when in the theatre. Oh, the mysteries of history.
