Identification of Booth's body

[Rob Wick]

Quote:[From Conger's testimony] There were two Garretts; by that time another one had come from somewhere; and Lieutenant Baker said to one of the Garretts, “You must go in the barn, and get the arms from those men.” (vol. 1, pp. 309-310)

[From Conger's testimony] Baker said, “They know you, and you can go in.” Baker said to the men inside, “We are going to send this man, on whose premises you are, in to get your arms; and you must come out and deliver yourselves up.” (vol. 1, p. 310)

So when Conger said that the man in the barn "dropped his arm" and started heading toward the door just before he was shot, he was clearly saying that the man dropped his weapon and started walking toward the door just before he was shot.

Oh my God. Do you not understand that this is Conger repeating what someone else said? Your whole nonsensical point is that Conger referred to the carbine as an "arm." Yet in the two examples you provide, Conger did not say that.

You also sidestep my other point that if Booth had dropped the carbine, Conger would have had no reason to argue with Byron Baker that Booth had killed himself.

As for your "experts," I would love for you to show where any member of the Garrett family testified that Booth was wearing a Confederate uniform. Quit quoting what other people say and provide the d a m n citation with title, date and place of publication, and page number. The only Garrett to testify anywhere was John Garrett who testified at the trial of John Surratt. He was never asked, and never testified, to what Booth was wearing. Here is the actual, real testimony.

Do you even have any thing that you can prove? If not, I wish you would quit wasting our time. I have an article on Lafayette Foster to finish.
