Hint #6: He retired in 1878. He died in 1881.
RE: Assassination Trivia - Gene C - 07-13-2013
I can't stand it anymore, I just can't wait.......it was Lawrence Gobright
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 07-13-2013
Finally, a winner! Kudos, Gene!! You win a 50% off coupon at your next meal at the nearest Lums Restaurant.
P.S. My "middleman" hint, admittedly sort of weak, was a reference to Kent giving Booth's pistol to Gobright and Gobright turning it in to the police.

Actually, you can by a new paperback copy today on Amazon for only $4.20 (plus s&h)
WOW! That's a bargain - especially for what you get!

Who wrote this regarding the night of April 14th?
"Saird came almost breathless to my home saying "the President is shot. J. Wilkes Booth shot him, come at once"
RE: Assassination Trivia - BettyO - 07-20-2013
Tanner?
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 07-20-2013
That's a good guess, Betty, but it was not Tanner.
RE: Assassination Trivia - L Verge - 07-20-2013
Gideon Welles?
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 07-20-2013
Another good guess, Laurie, but it was not him, either.
RE: Assassination Trivia - J. Beckert - 07-20-2013
Dr. Barnes?
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 07-20-2013
Another good guess, Joe, but it was not Dr. Barnes.
RE: Assassination Trivia - BettyO - 07-20-2013
Stanton?
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 07-20-2013
I am sorry, Betty, but it was not Stanton.
Hint #1: The answer is not an obscure person. It is a familiar name to all.
RE: Assassination Trivia - LincolnMan - 07-20-2013
That's funny-it was me that guessed Stanton. Roger, how did it show up as a post by Betty?
RE: Assassination Trivia - L Verge - 07-20-2013
Nicolay?
