RE: First Report of Lincoln Assassination
Joe, you're right that it was William Kent who found the derringer in the box. Kent gave it to Lawrence Gobright, a reporter working for the Associated Press, who had rushed over to Ford's Theatre when he heard Lincoln had been shot. Gobright turned the gun over to the Metropolitian Police in the morning of the 15th.

However, I do not know which newspaper Gobright sent his dispatches to nor the method by which he did it.
