Correcting History

[Jim Garrett]

Ford's takes no position one way or the other. Most of the staff personally lean towards civilian clothes. The testimony from James Ferguson (owner of the Greenback Saloon on the north side of the theatre) page 485, The Evidence, I was sitting in the dress circle right opposite the box occupied by the President, Mrs. Lincoln and one other lady whom I did know and a gentleman in citizen clothes." I think that Booth mentions the "colonel" well after the fact.
