Secretary Stanton is widely believed to have been implicated in the murder. So is General Ulysses S. Grant, by now a leading contender for the Republican nomination for the presidency. Politics aside, there are strong inducements for those involved to claim that the real Booth had been run to ground: not least, the $50,000 War Department reward for his capture. It is up to Cosgrove, largely...
