Clara Harris's Bloody Dress

[Eva Elisabeth]

Has ever a DNA analysis been made if there was blood of two different persons on the remaining dress fragment? Or has it been compared to that on the alledgedly remaining pillow cases?
Has a medical doctor ever commented on Dr. Taft's statement that the wound wasn't bleeding (at that time)*?

I second Bill. Dr. Leale writes**: "I quickly passed the separated fingers of both hands through his blood matted hair to examine his head, and I discovered his mortal wound." "his bleeding head rested on my white linen handkerchief". This (and thus blood in A. L.'s hair) happened before Dr. Taft came to assist. And every time Leale removed another blood clot, blood ouzed out.

Dr. Leale's report sounds realistic to me. If Laura Keene held A. Lincoln's head in her lap (as Dr. Leale also stated) I consider it unlikely that none of at least the blood that had already moistened the hair stained her dress.
