Assassination Trivia

Happy New Year!

I'd like to join in on the fun with a new trivia question about the Lincoln assassination clothing.


In January of 1968, the United States Department of the Interior announced the acquisition of President Lincoln’s assassination clothes for display in the Lincoln Museum at Ford’s Theatre.

This picture is of the ceremony - held in the Theatre’s Museum - in which the clothes were presented to the Interior Department.

Mr. William Rightsell, the attorney who represented the seller, stands among three significant supporters of this historic acquisition. Who are they?

Hint: Mr. Rightsell is the #2 gentleman on the left.
