At this moment the Presidential party entered passing around the south side of the gallery to enter the box.

 "Tt was about 10 80 when the pis- tol shot which sent the bullet at Lin coin was fired. Booth suddenly slid down from the front of the box onto the stage and rushed diagonally across, disappearing. He caught his foot in the flag decorations and made some exclamation which I did not under stand. but no such dramatic speech as has popularly been accredited to him. Had he done anything of that kind I believe he would have been mobbed before he could have escaped. AS 1t was, J. B.

The theater people swarmed upon the stage. An officer in military uniform managed to get to the President by climbing up from the stage into the box, the door having been barred. Laura Keene came quick ly through the gallery with pitcher of water, lending an odd note to the scene with her costume and makeup. The door of the box by this time was opened and she entered.
