Henry Clay Ford, brother of theatre owner?
RE: Assassination Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 10-09-2021 05:30 PM
John Mathews?
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 10-10-2021 04:04 AM
Both guesses are excellent but incorrect. This is a tough question.
Hint #1: The correct person has been mentioned previously on this forum.
RE: Assassination Trivia - AussieMick - 10-10-2021 04:33 AM
Yeah, great hint Roger. That means about 9,843,465 names to choose from.

Always good to have the right books at hand. Henry Merrick (thanks to John Fazio).

Great research, Eva!! Henry Merrick, a clerk at the National Hotel, is correct. Some assassination books, perhaps the majority, do not include this conversation.
RE: Assassination Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 10-10-2021 04:51 AM
You know the task of which three books to take to a desert island (AKA Vienna)? I chose John Stanton's, David Donald's "Lincoln", and Ed Steers' "Encyclopedia" because I thought they cover the most questions and topics. (So, which three books would you decide on?)
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 10-10-2021 05:34 AM
Offhand, I do not know. I will have to think about that!
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 12-23-2021 05:13 AM
Many years ago, assassination expert Mike Kauffman discovered a receipt showing that the government paid John Lloyd for his service as a witness in the conspiracy trial. How much was John Lloyd paid?
RE: Assassination Trivia - AussieMick - 12-23-2021 03:26 PM
I'll guess $20
RE: Assassination Trivia - Anita - 12-23-2021 09:57 PM
Bit of a storm my way and I may lose power so here's what I have. John Lloyd was paid to turn state's evidence to testify as a witness in the conspiracy trial.
The amount may be in "American Brutus" by Mike Kauffman. I think it was $50.
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 12-24-2021 04:44 AM
Michael and Anita, you are both too low.
Hint #1: Although this question may seem difficult, the truth of the matter is that the right answer is not far from being right before your eyes.
RE: Assassination Trivia - Dennis Urban - 12-24-2021 07:29 AM
I know where the answer is but shall not give away. Hint: Just saw it two days ago. Little known fact I'd never seen before.
RE: Assassination Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 12-24-2021 09:55 AM
(I'm quite sure it's in Mr. Fazio's book, too, but my copy is far away right now!)
So I guess - 75$?
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 12-24-2021 12:58 PM
You are also too low, Eva. The correct answer is much closer to you than John Fazio's book.
Hint #1: Two clicks away.
