RE: Booth's visit to the Surratt Boarding House after the assassination
Good point, Roger and I've never seen that either. Didn't Stanton come up with that the weekend after the assassination after having the play performed for himself and several other Gov't officials?

Booth once played in "Our American Cousin" for 9 consecutive days, but I've never seen a reference to what part he played. He obviously knew it well.
