Lincoln's non pardon

[RJNorton]

Jerry, I do not know the answer, but there is a strange story that Booth was in love with Beall's sister, Lily, and that Beall and Booth had been fraternity brothers. Some accounts even having Booth gaining entrance to the White House, actually meeting with Lincoln (putting his arms around Lincoln's legs and crying), and begging for Beall's life. If anyone has ever found actual documentation for this, please post! Thanks.
