RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 01-25-2014
Since I know nothing of this actor I cannot think of any clues. So here is what I came across. The actor's name was Frank Mordaunt. The quote is in a footnote in Inside Lincoln's White House: The Complete Civil War Diary of John Hay edited by Michael Burlingame and John R. Turner Ettlinger. The original source is the June 1905 Chicago Inter-Ocean.

This person was in the audience at Ford's Theatre on April 14, 1865. What is his name?

RE: Assassination Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 02-01-2014
Major Joseph Stewart ?
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 02-01-2014
Eva, that is an outstanding guess, but it's not him. I do not believe I have ever seen a photo of Stewart.
Hint #1: This person's middle name was Payne (or Paine).
RE: Assassination Trivia - Rsmyth - 02-01-2014
Thomas Payne Gourlay?
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 02-01-2014
Brilliant, Rich! That is correct - well done, sir! I found his middle name spelled both ways on the web - I do not know which is correct.
Source of picture is here.

I have his original wedding license and it is spelled Payne. This is a picture of him in later years with his son's and one step son. He is second from the left.
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 02-02-2014
Thanks, Rich. I did an Internet search to see if I could find his account of the assassination and found it here (about half way down).

After Abraham Lincoln's assassination two actors claimed they had previously rented the room where the president died. Both claimed John Wilkes Booth has visited them and rested upon the same bed on which Lincoln passed away. One of these actors was John Mathews. Who was the other?
RE: Assassination Trivia - Anita - 02-04-2014
Charles Warwick
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 02-04-2014
Kudos, Anita! You are correct.
You win one free dinner with any actor or actress of your choice.
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 02-26-2014
Who is this man?

RE: Assassination Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 02-26-2014
James Tanner in older age?
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 02-26-2014
Excellent, Eva! The photo that I have seen in books is of a much younger James Tanner, so I thought this might be a challenge. Good job, Eva!
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 03-27-2014
John Surratt said that in his final trip to Richmond Judah Benjamin gave his some dispatches to take to Montreal. The dispatches were hidden in a book Surratt carried with him. What was the name of the book?
