RE: Lincoln and the secret service
Eva, one last clarification. Jerry and Laurie were both correct regarding the Secret Service and the attempt to steal Lincoln's body. The gang that tried to carry it out was involved in counterfeiting.

What I am questioning is whether or not Lincoln signed legislation creating the Secret Service only hours before his assassination. I simply cannot find proof he did that.
