Who is this person?

Kudos to Eva! And kudos to Laurie for agreeing with her. Yes, I scanned a small portion of James Tanner's notes. During the night of Lincoln's assassination Tanner, a disabled veteran, took down testimony of eyewitnesses using shorthand. He did this at the Petersen House. This was the initial testimony in connection to the assassination. I have a book titled While Lincoln Lay Dying. This book contains Tanner's shorthand, and I took the scan from that book.
