Help Wanted

[Dennis Urban]

Unfortunately this thread wandered away from the original question, but no matter. I appreciate all the input and cogent thoughts. The question may never be convincingly answered since Aiken left no known account and Clampitt's account is not definitive. I tend to agree with John's interpretation of Clampitt's wording as well as accept the Constitutional Union's reference to their presence. As a researcher and historian, I will maintain an open mind as I must. As an individual at times obsessed with the intricacies of the assassination and it's aftermath, I choose to believe that Aiken and Clampitt must have been present.
