Thanks. Here is what it says in Dark Union:

"For gas lamps going out, see the B.B. French Diary, LC; also affidavit of the lamplighter, Kauffman, May 11, 1876, Ford's Theatre Collection, Washington, D.C. They could have been extinguished by the closing of a valve in the city gasworks, then located just west of the Capitol."

I do not have access to either one of those sources. Can anyone post the pertinent text regarding the gas lamps from either one (or both) of these sources?
