RE: New Eyewitness Account?

Here's a different take on things.

Thank you to Steve for sending these accounts by Silas Owen, the same person William H. Flood said accompanied him to Ford's Theatre and helped with Lincoln's body. The first account comes from the National Tribune (DC) on Thursday, February 5, 1903. The second one was in the Sedalia Democrat on Thursday, November 26, 1896. The last one was in the Democrat and Chronicle (Rochester) on Sunday, November 20, 1895.

Among other things we are told that Booth did not break his leg in the fall to the stage; rather he broke a tendon. And the blood on Laura Keene's dress came from Booth slashing his knife at her as he passed her on the stage during his escape from Ford's Theatre.
