RE: Assassination Trivia
It's a tie. Laurie & Rich got it.

Gifford was owed money for building Tudor Hall that Mary Ann Booth never paid him and this caused him to lose his own home. His association with Booth as an employee at Ford's cost him his freedom for a while. I've never heard how he got along with JWB, but Edwin said he hated him.

Good guess, Gene, but it's not him.

Hint #1: He was in the audience watching Our American Cousin when the shot was fired.

I am sorry Laurie, Mr. Hess, and Craig, but it's none of those folks.

Hint #2: He did not stay at the theater after the shot; he took off running.
