A John Wilkes Booth boot question

[BettyO]

There was testimony at the trial that Herold carried a knife in his boot.

Never heard that JWB carried one in his boot or had a sheath in his boot. Lew Powell's knife had a sheath - and unless he wore the sheath in his boot or carried it in his pocket, we don't know - all that was said was that he "Drew his knife"....
