RE: The Man Who Wrote the Man Who Killed Lincoln
I have to agree with Roger on this. Burning papers was certainly not uncommon for people (very few of Chester Arthur's personal papers exist, as an example), but setting aside that Hertz was about as trustworthy as a $2 watch, most scholars today have pretty much laid the general idea of RTL burning papers to rest.
