James J. Gifford.

Gifford?
RE: Assassination Trivia - J. Beckert - 03-28-2013 12:43 PM
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.

Fredrick Seward?
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 04-03-2013 08:18 AM
Good guess, Gene, but it's not him.
Hint #1: He was in the audience watching Our American Cousin when the shot was fired.

Burnside?
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 04-03-2013 08:51 AM
Nope, not him, Joe.
RE: Assassination Trivia - Rsmyth - 04-03-2013 09:50 AM
Ok, this is a one in 1,200 guess...is it James P. Ferguson?
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 04-03-2013 12:54 PM
Sorry, Rich, but it's not him.
RE: Assassination Trivia - L Verge - 04-03-2013 06:31 PM
Either father or son Gourlay?
RE: Assassination Trivia - Hess1865 - 04-03-2013 07:27 PM
That fellow Stewart, who chased after Booth??
RE: Assassination Trivia - Craig Hipkins - 04-03-2013 08:39 PM
Is it William Withers the orchestra leader?
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 04-04-2013 03:52 AM
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 08:48 AM
The reporter who took off to the telegraph office to report the assassination?
