What happened to Booth after the manhunt

[Jim Page]

I saw what was supposed to be a "Booth mummy" when I was a kid. It was at the Florida State Fair in Tallahassee, if my memory is correct, and the year would have been 1964 or 1965. There's no way of knowing whether the mummy I paid a quarter to see is the one under discussion; it's my understanding that there was more than one of these mummies touring in carnivals and sideshows in those days.

Of the many bizarre sights I saw that day, the one I remember best is the "Bonnie and Clyde Death Car." It was actually worth a quarter to see, but, like the Booth mummy, may have been a phony,
