@TheDebtWeAllPay If you saw the recent film by Robert Redford entitled "The Conspirator", it centered around the Military Trial of Booth's accomplices, Mary Surratt in particular. It was her son, John Surratt, who escaped the scene as was found hiding as a papal attendant in Rome. His Mother swung on the gallows when he would not surrender. Google John Surratt to see young Johnny hiding behind the pope. The pope backed the South, and many believe the Jesuits were involved in Lincoln's murder.

@BodomTranquilityWorm I agree. The grave plot belongs to the family, not the courts. I have to credit" Unsolved Mysteries" for at least suggesting that we could connect the dots on Booth's connection to VP Andrew Johnson, which Meltzer's 'Decoded" did not touch. Booth's calling card was found in Johnson's hotel mailbox the VERY DAY of the Assassination. Mary Lincoln was enraged and convinced that "Johnson had some hand in all of this". Lincoln claimed that her insights were continually superb!

Wow, unbeleiveable, the fucking government was lieing about things even then...Lincoln...Kennedy..all lied.

Buried at sea, 1865 version.

I hope this is not true. Booth was truly an evil bastard who deserved to die.

They make a good point about the secrecy and lack of pictures of the corpse. 10:55

In the 19th Century, mankind was much less respectful of the corpses - especially outlaws. Executions were held in public squares and the bodies were often put on display. There are many pictures of the dead body of Jesse James for instance.

Booth's handler was a man named Rothberg who was a Crown agent protecting financial control of the bank structure in America in which Lincoln openly challenged. Rothberg attached himself to Booth in Montreal, Canada, where British originated attacks on America originate re: the attacks of 9/11. It was in Montreal where Rothberg and Booth, and other conspirators began their planned hit on Lincoln. Montreal launched James Earl Ray; Lee Harvey Oswald; John Wilkes Booth; others as well.

Henry Wikoff worked for the British Foreign Office and was personal friends with Edwin Forrest in London. Junius Brutus Booth named his other son after Edwin Forrest, Edwin Booth. Edmund Hodgson Yates, editor of The World newspaper, Lord Palmerston and British interests worked through the Adelphi Theater for the hit on Lincoln. Friend's of the Booths owned the Ford Theater in Washington. The Jesuit angle is 19th Century British propaganda.

Lord Palmerston was the only British Prime Minister to die in office in October of 1865. It was Palmerston's network that put events into place for the hit on Abraham Lincoln. The father of John Wilkes Booth was Junius Brutus Booth. Henry Wikoff was an American, articulate, well educated and well connected; he penetrated Mary Todd Lincoln's inner circle and was often seen in the White House and many resented his constant presence. Wikoff was a British intel asset.
