RE: Clara Harris and Mary Lincoln
Looking over the supposed Clara Harris statement, do we have an account given by Simon P. Hanscom, the editor of the National Republican who delivered a dispatch to Lincoln?
Reck says that Hanscom handed the dispatch to Forbes then went in and handed it to the President. I looked over Clara Harris's 1877 interview in the Philadelphia Weekly Times again and she only mentions Forbes coming into the box once in a while - no intruder before popping in before Booth came in to murder Lincoln.
