New Eyewitness Account?

[RJNorton]

Thanks to Steve for sending this article from the April 17, 1865, edition of the New York Herald. Steve writes, "She (Keene) does mention reaching the box, but doesn't mention holding the President's head. She does say that she tried to console Mrs. Lincoln, though."

One reaction I had to the article is I wonder when/where this interview with Keene took place. I know she departed Washington quickly (not sure exactly when), and she was arrested in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, on April 17.
