The Madman and the Assassin

[LincolnToddFan]

[Corbett peered through a gap in the barn wall and, seeing Booth raise his rifle as if to fire, drew his pistol and took a single shot. The bullet entered the assassin’s skull at a point eerily similar to where Booth’s had penetrated Lincoln’s, with the same mortal result.]// quote

That's strange, I thought that Booth got a bullet through his neck. This is the first I've ever read that his skull was pierced.
