He Served in Place of Abraham Lincoln

[maharba]

I don't know about a 'conspiracy', but I find it interesting that very good researchers Gene and Houmes here found little or nothing at all on the topic in Lincoln materials. The old scrapbook clippings talked about a..club concert at Ford's Theatre after Lincoln got his exemption certificate...in a big gold frame seen from the stage. It gave no date, I would guess the date would be mid October 1864. Wonder where that framed exemption is today? If it turned up at the Antique Roadshow next week, would they know what they had, and what might it be worth?
