Seward Attack

[Linda Anderson]

David Herold's April 27, 1865 statement from The Evidence:.

"I heard him [Booth] say the night before he was taken that his money was getting short. He says, 'I have a one hundred dollar note and sixty dollars in gold.' He says, 'I will divide this money with you in the morning.' I said, 'I don't want any of your money.' He said he had a diamond pin, of which he would make me a present, and I told him I would take it. He never saw morning.'"

The footnote says, "This stickpin was engraved 'Dan Bryant to J.W. Booth.' It was found on Booth's body by Everton Conger and served as proof that the body was that of John Wilkes Booth."

Does anyone know what happened to the stickpin?
