Assassination Trivia

The person noted that in the afternoon JWB "was dressed in the height of fashion, in the picturesque costume of the day, velvet collar and cuffs." But just before the assassination this same person observed that JWB "was wearing heavy riding boots, spurs, a blue flannel shirt, and an army slouch hat."

Who was this person?

Was it the stableman, Pumphrey, who saw Booth when he hired the horse and, later, when he returned for the horse?
Happy Independence Day, Roger,
