RE: Assassination Trivia - Rsmyth - 03-28-2013
James J. Gifford.
RE: Assassination Trivia - Laurie Verge - 03-28-2013
Gifford?
RE: Assassination Trivia - J. Beckert - 03-28-2013
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.
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 04-03-2013
Who is this man?

RE: Assassination Trivia - Gene C - 04-03-2013
Fredrick Seward?
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 04-03-2013
Good guess, Gene, but it's not him.
Hint #1: He was in the audience watching Our American Cousin when the shot was fired.
RE: Assassination Trivia - J. Beckert - 04-03-2013
Burnside?
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 04-03-2013
Nope, not him, Joe.
RE: Assassination Trivia - Rsmyth - 04-03-2013
Ok, this is a one in 1,200 guess...is it James P. Ferguson?
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 04-03-2013
Sorry, Rich, but it's not him.
RE: Assassination Trivia - L Verge - 04-03-2013
Either father or son Gourlay?
RE: Assassination Trivia - Hess1865 - 04-03-2013
That fellow Stewart, who chased after Booth??
RE: Assassination Trivia - Craig Hipkins - 04-03-2013
Is it William Withers the orchestra leader?
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 04-04-2013
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.
RE: Assassination Trivia - Laurie Verge - 04-04-2013
The reporter who took off to the telegraph office to report the assassination?
