Booth's visit to the Surratt Boarding House after the assassination

His hat was recovered from the theater, but has since vanished. I know Lincoln's hat was exibited as evidence at the trial, but I'm not sure about Booth's. It may have been. Here's (a since colored) engraving from Frank Leslie's paper shortly after the assassination.

Thanks Joe. That's excellent. I always wondered.. What happened to that hat?
