RE: News story about the Taper hat
Great story - and it makes me happy to know that even big-wig museums hit stumbling blocks in proving exact provenance.

I also teared up a little when I read the sentence regarding the Scottish judicial system using "guilty," "not guilty," and "not proven." On one of my first encounters with James O. Hall in 1976, I asked him whether or not he thought Mary Surratt was guilty or not guilty. He replied that he had Scottish blood and believed her guilt was "not proven."
