Ward said he witnessed the assassination and remained in the theater for 15-20 minutes talking to others. He made no claim of going to the box. He said he learned the assassin's name in the street after departing the theater. He said he kept hearing the shot every night for several weeks afterward. His account came in 1931.

Kees, is this little summary the kind of thing you were looking for?

Thanks Roger! Exactly what I wanted to know. So he does not fit in the list.
