Useless, useless

[Dave Taylor]

It's a newspaper account from Doherty. He wasn't very reliable even in 1865 and in 1886 his story seems to have practically no truth to it. According to him it looks like he single handedly surrounded the barn, set the barn on fire, pulled Booth out of the barn, tended to him on the porch, and sewed him up in a blanket all by himself.
