Assassination Trivia

[RJNorton]

Dave, kudos on having such an excellent memory, and that quote you were thinking of is on the right track, but the answer is not Waite.

Eva, kudos to you as you are correct!! The source I used is p. 416 (note # 109) of Terry Alford's Fortune's Fool. I have John's book, too, so the answer is in both books. Dr. Alford's source for this quote from David Herold is the New York Tribune, April 28, 1865. According to the article Herold said this after being captured.

I cannot think of a prize for a broken leg question, so I just send my very best wishes to you in Kiel.
