Are there not multiple witnesses who said John Wilkes Booth handed a card (or something) to Forbes prior to entering the box immediately prior to the assassination? If this be true, and it was indeed Booth's second visit to the box, why would he need to hand anything to Forbes the second time? Wouldn't he have given Forbes his card the first time?

Thank you.

Roger:

..."To know all that, prior to his strike, he would have to make a dry run if he could. So he waited for an opportunity, i.e., a moment when there was no one outside the outer door, or when Forbes was distracted or otherwise not paying sufficient attention, or when Forbes was with Parker and Burke at Taltavul's, i.e., during an intermission. In any case, when the opportunity came, he took it." (p. 162, Decapitating.
