Of course, how could I forget? Fred Seward wore the fez for the rest of his life. Who is this gentleman?

William Seward, Jr.?


RE: Assassination Trivia - Linda Anderson - 11-11-2013

Correct, Dave. Here's a photo of Will in later years.

I think he looks a lot like Dr. Verdi.

Who is this man?

RE: Assassination Trivia - J. Beckert - 12-06-2013

A young Thomas Eckert?


RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 12-06-2013

That is a great guess, Joe, but it's not him.


RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 12-06-2013

Hint #1: He is mentioned briefly in both Jim and Rich's book and in Tom Bogar's book. I do not think much is known about him. I could easily have put this question in the trivial trivia thread.


RE: Assassination Trivia - J. Beckert - 12-06-2013

Last guess before I start cheating. James Ferguson, the saloon keeper?


RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 12-06-2013

I am sorry, Joe, but it's not Ferguson.


RE: Assassination Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 12-06-2013

Edwin Emerson?


RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 12-06-2013

Eva, that is also a good guess, but it's not him, either.

Hint #2: He worked at Ford's Theatre.


RE: Assassination Trivia - J. Beckert - 12-06-2013

A. J. Hanck?


RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 12-06-2013

Not him but you are really close, Joe.


RE: Assassination Trivia - J. Beckert - 12-06-2013

The page I'm cheating off is a mess. James St. Clair? Or it could be John Houston.


RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 12-06-2013

You got it, Joe. Kudos. James St. Clair was an usher at Ford's. His photo is on p. 34 of Jim and Rich's book.

The biggest thing down here in the South last weekend was the Alabama-Auburn game. I had Alabama. I will send you all I got off that bet.
