Killing Lincoln

[L Verge]

Art Loux is due every credit we can give him. For the nearly forty years that I have known him, he has generously given of his time and knowledge to assist many researchers who have become authors and experts in our field. We all owe him a debt of gratitude. He is reworking his very rare John Wilkes Booth Day By Day for a larger publication. Watch for details because every enthusiast should have a copy.

That said - on to an answer to the creepy thing mentioned previously: That "doll" or whatever you want to call it first appeared at the Museum of Crime and Punishment in Washington, D.C. shortly after the premiere of The Conspirator movie in 2011. To coincide with the movie, that museum staged a special exhibit on Mary Surratt and the conspirators. These "things" were part of that exhibit. Julie Cowdery on my staff at Surratt House assisted with the exhibit and gave a short presentation at the opening event. These figures were somewhat of a shock to her also! The Conspirator staff lent some of their props to the exhibit also.
