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 01:24 PM

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

I think he looks a lot like Dr. Verdi.

Who is this man?

A young Thomas Eckert?


RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 12-06-2013 12:03 PM

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


RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 12-06-2013 01:31 PM

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 02:15 PM

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


RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 12-06-2013 02:26 PM

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


RE: Assassination Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 12-06-2013 02:30 PM

Edwin Emerson?


RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 12-06-2013 02:39 PM

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 02:51 PM

A. J. Hanck?


RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 12-06-2013 02:55 PM

Not him but you are really close, Joe.


RE: Assassination Trivia - J. Beckert - 12-06-2013 03:22 PM

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 03:37 PM

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.
