Good try, Eva, but it's not Wallace.

Hint #1: This man actually has two "connections" to the assassination saga - once in March 1865 and again in April 1865.

[Wild Bill]

Walt Whitman

[RJNorton]

Good try, Bill, but it's not Whitman.

Is this person involved in the theater ?

[RJNorton]

Yes, although not as an employee or actor.

Is this person a theater owner?

No, the gentleman did not own a theater. (At least I do not think so. No matter what, his name would not be in the history books for this reason.)
