New Development in Booth Case Coming Soon

[Steve]

I don't think Black was showing a daguerreotype and photograph of John St. Helen, but of John Wilkes Booth. The undertaker couldn't have buried David E. George/John St. Helen, who was still doing his mummy role on the fair circuits. So, the undertaker was being asked whether John Wilkes Booth who died and was buried in Leadville, CO in 1916 was the same John Wilkes Booth in Black's daguerreotype and photo.

You're right, I guess I just didn't notice that the article had already expanded from Bates claims to other claims/issues. The phrase "photograph of the claimant" makes it sound like Black actually had a photograph of the Leadville JWB, though.
