RE: New Eyewitness Account?
Here's a link to a book that has transcriptions of both Maj. Rathbone's and Clara Harris' 17 April 1865 affidavits:
https://books.google.com/books?id=_dZCAA...22&f=false Neither of them mention Laura Keene being admitted into the box. Clara's affidavit says she helped two people climb up into the box from the stage, one a naval surgeon (Dr. Taft, who was actually an Army surgeon) and a soldier wearing a Veterans Reserve Corp uniform. That could possibly be Augustus Clark, though, as far as I can tell he hadn't been a soldier prior to working as a clerk in the War Department. I very much doubt William Flood's account of climbing up to the box. Are there any other people who claimed to have climbed up to the box? |
