Hint #6: He retired in 1878. He died in 1881.

I can't stand it anymore, I just can't wait.......it was Lawrence Gobright

Finally, a winner! Kudos, Gene!! You win a 50% off coupon at your next meal at the nearest Lums Restaurant.

P.S. My "middleman" hint, admittedly sort of weak, was a reference to Kent giving Booth's pistol to Gobright and Gobright turning it in to the police.

Who wrote this regarding the night of April 14th?

"Saird came almost breathless to my home saying "the President is shot. J. Wilkes Booth shot him, come at once"

Tanner?

RJNorton · 07-20-2013, 06:00 AM

That's a good guess, Betty, but it was not Tanner.

Gideon Welles?

RJNorton · 07-20-2013, 09:54 AM

Another good guess, Laurie, but it was not him, either.

J. Beckert · 07-20-2013, 10:03 AM

Dr. Barnes?

RJNorton · 07-20-2013, 10:19 AM

Another good guess, Joe, but it was not Dr. Barnes.

BettyO · 07-20-2013, 11:03 AM

Stanton?

RJNorton · 07-20-2013, 11:18 AM

I am sorry, Betty, but it was not Stanton.

Hint #1: The answer is not an obscure person. It is a familiar name to all.

LincolnMan · 07-20-2013, 12:18 PM

That's funny-it was me that guessed Stanton. Roger, how did it show up as a post by Betty?

Nicolay?
