No prizes for trivia cheaters. I forfeit.

In the years after the assassination which person stated that it was mainly on his testimony that the principal conspirators were convicted.
RE: Assassination Trivia - Rogerm - 12-25-2013 02:19 PM
Was it Louis J. Weichmann?
RE: Assassination Trivia - Dave Taylor - 12-25-2013 02:20 PM
I'll take a random guess. How about John Fletcher? His information on the horses and their owners proved valuable.
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 12-25-2013 02:38 PM
Good guesses, Roger and Dave, but neither one is correct.

Richard M. Smoot's brother?
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 12-25-2013 04:36 PM
I am sorry, Laurie, but it was not Smoot's brother.
RE: Assassination Trivia - Gene C - 12-25-2013 05:58 PM
I would have thought Weichmann, how about John Lloyd?
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 12-25-2013 06:07 PM
That's another good guess, Gene, but it wasn't John Lloyd.
RE: Assassination Trivia - J. Beckert - 12-25-2013 08:21 PM
Not taking "testimony" literally, I'll guess Lafayette Baker.

William Withers?
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 12-26-2013 05:08 AM
Kudos, Rich. You are correct. In later years Withers stated, "It was mainly on my testimony that the principals in the case were convicted." Withers made a series of embellished or untrue statements including maintaining that Tad Lincoln was in the box with his parents that night.
Tom Bogar mentions Withers' statement here. Scroll to 6:25 of the video.

This is a part of a letter. Who wrote the letter?
"Let me no the truth about this murder of the Chief President....I want to no wat you no about it....My hand is so lame that I can scarcely hold the pen...."
RE: Assassination Trivia - Dave Taylor - 01-14-2014 03:47 PM
I know, I know! But I'll let others guess.
RE: Assassination Trivia - L Verge - 01-14-2014 04:13 PM
Sam Arnold's father?
