Facinating story, Roger! But...I've never heard of anyone grabbing anything to wad under Lincoln's head. Leale doesn't mention it, neither do others who were present. I more or less believe that the blood (if it is blood) would more or less have come from Rathbone, whose cut artery/vein was supposedly spurting all over the place... It could also be a stain of some other sort -

Still all in all a wonderfully facinating subject that I had never heard of!

Thanks, Roger!
