A little-known person

[RJNorton]

Regarding the tipster...Tom Bogar has researched actor John McCullough and determined he was not in Washington at the time of the assassination. Although it says that the tipster looked like McCullough, he also admits that he "never ascertained whether McCullough was in Washington at that time."

With respect to the identity of the tipster, Mike Kauffman writes, "It remains one of the great mysteries of the Lincoln assassination story." When a Lincoln assassination expert such as Mike Kauffman writes those words it shows the extreme difficulty of the task of naming such tipster.
