Assassination Trivia

[RJNorton]

Since I know nothing of this actor I cannot think of any clues. So here is what I came across. The actor's name was Frank Mordaunt. The quote is in a footnote in Inside Lincoln's White House: The Complete Civil War Diary of John Hay edited by Michael Burlingame and John R. Turner Ettlinger. The original source is the June 1905 Chicago Inter-Ocean.
