Assassination Trivia

[Rsmyth]

The article does not lie. You are correct...but that is not the person I was thinking of. Lt. Col. Richard A. Watts also of Hancocks staff wrote a manuscript detailing the events while he was on duty at the penitentiary. Watts says that after surgeon Porter examined the bodies, he (Watts) wrote the names on a slip of paper and placed them in the bottles. This info is from the Surratt publication "In Pursuit Of..." pg. 207. So, do we know of any more claimants? Good job Dave in turning up that article so quickly!
