ing member of his profession In
1861 he visited England, and in 1864
produced Hamlet in New York for
a run of one hundred Consecutive

a conspiracy against the life of Pres
ident Lincoln. which eliminated n
the mortal wounding of the president

over the life of Edwin Booth from

While he shared the popular de
testation of his brothers mad act,
yet blood is thicker than. water, and
the bullet that ended the lie of
John Wilkes pierced also the heart
of his brother.

costing more than million dollars,
but which involved him in financial
ruin. He revisited California in 1876.
