Booths Diary

[STS Lincolnite]

I went back and read Conger's testimony at the John Surratt trial. He states several times that it was he who took the daybook/diary from Booth's person. He further says that the diary/daybook was in his possession from 6am until 4pm. He examined it while on a steamer on the Potomac. He states that it is now (1867) in the same condition it was in when he turned it over to Stanton.
