I'm thinking the forum member is Rich and he's had contact with a Bainbridge before. So, could it be Absalom Bainbridge?

RE: Assassination Trivia
Last guess. I came up with the name first, figuring if it came from Dr. Houmes he must be a Doctor and then Googled to see if he was buried in N.Y.

Dr. Charles Sabin Taft?

RE: Assassination Trivia
Roger, is there another well known picture of this man? I have an image in my mind of a gentleman not unlike this man seated in a three quarters shot facing right. Can't come up with the name though...

RE: Assassination Trivia
Right, Rob! Very good!

A great big THANK YOU to Dr. Houmes for sending this rare image.

Here's Blaine's image and a more common image seen in books.

RE: Assassination Trivia
What man whose name is part of the Lincoln assassination saga was charged with trying to fool the gas company? A rubber pipe was rigged to his gas meter which conducted the gas around rather than through the meter!!! However, the man in question had an explanation for the judge. This sad and unfortunate incident happened many years after 1865. Who was he?
