Booth's visit to the Surratt Boarding House after the assassination

[Rick Smith]

Gents,

I wish you all the best, but I do not believe that you are going to find any pockets inside those boots, zippered or otherwise.

The zipper had yet to be invented.

Look at the boot's surface. If there were any pockets, my feeling is that it would show on the outer surface, which is very smooth.

I think that finding pockets in the boots is highly unlikely.
