List of Ford's Theatre Attendees

[Linda Anderson]

Thanks, Steve. I agree that's a great idea.

Hi, Joe, I replied to your post on Dave's site a couple of days ago but my post hasn't been approved yet. (Dave's conducting his escape route tours this weekend.)

I wrote about Dr. Sabin in 2014 after I discovered him when I was researching the Seward family. Dr. Sabin was accompanied to Ford's Theatre by Lieut. Jakeway R. Hoff.

Where do you think Sabin was going here? Was he on the stage?

"My first thought was that a boy in the gallery had fired off one of those large firecrackers which we have been hearing for the last week, and that one of the president's party had been seized with a fit, or had suddenly become insane, and I ran towards the back to stop him, supposing, as he went behind the scenes, he had instead jumped to the floor and was coming towards the door. As I got to the door, someone said, 'The president is shot,' and, thinking there would be no surgeon at hand I might be of service, I ran immediately to the president's box."

Here's the link to the Sabin thread:
