Formatted Contents Note:

By God, then, is John Booth crazy? -- It all seems a dream-a wild dream -- President's case is hopeless -- Arrest every man, woman, or child attempting to pass -- A singular combination of gravity and joy -- He wanted to be loved of the southern people -- Man of genius in the Booth family -- My profession, my name, is my passport -- I have a greater speculation ... they won't laugh at -- You can be the leader ... but not my executioner -- There is going to be some splendid acting tonight -- Sic semper tyrannis! -- I believe he would have murdered us, every one -- Let the stain of innocent blood be removed from the land -- I must fight the course -- These people around here contradict each other so much -- Nothing short of a miracle can save their lives.
