After an almost comical number of failures to kidnap Lincoln, John Wilkes Boothâs Flying Circus falls apart, but, now, itâs not about kidnapping anymore. Itâs about murder in the worst degree.
A soldier thinks he hears Booth talking to a co-conspirator about Lincoln leaving Fordâs Theater during the playâs second intermission, but dismisses it. Lincolnâs body guard Ward Lamon is in Richmond on business for his President. John Parker, the âspecial policemanâ guarding Lincoln, leaves his post to grab a beer with Lincolnâs coachman and footman. The third act begins and Booth downs a shot of courage in Taltuvullâs Star Saloon, then slips next door into the theater and clandestinely makes his way to Lincolnâs box.
At about the same time, off Lafayette Park, an injured, bedridden Secretary of State William Seward is attacked by a person or persons unknown in a confused frenzy, the account of which--to this day--has never been satisfactorily explained. Can the key to the mystery be found in the Seward Family's closet of skeletons?
