** NEW DISCOVERY REGARDING BOOTH AUTOPSY PHOTO

[John E.]

There is another book out there on Gardner besides the one that Katz did. I think the title is something like Gardner's Sketchbook of the Civil War. Has anyone seen it? Is there any mention in there about the supposed autopsy photo?

Hi Laurie,

No mention at all. In fact, it doesn't even include the execution photos.

My eye sight is not what it used to be. When was the neck vertebrae removed from Booth's body? This autopsy, or later before they buried him in Baltimore?

It was taken during the autopsy.
