FLAG IDENTIFIED
AS HISTORIC

Doubts regarding the authen
.ticity of q Treasury guards flag
presented the Lincoln Museum
last January as the flag which,
draped on the box of President
Lincoln, tripped the heel of John
Wilkes Booth, were today dis.
PEELED and the flag henceforth
will be one Of the Governments
most priced relics.
A book published by a New
York firm in 1865 on, the Life,
Assassination and Obsequies Of
Abraham Lincoln" was found by
Miss Opal A. Kiser, of the
Lincoln Museum, to establish the
identity of the flag. The refer
ence was found during a search
under the direction Of Capt. John
T. Clemens, museum custodian,
after Lieut.. Col. U. S. Grant,
director of Public Buildings and
Parks, requested the latter to
study contemporary publications
to determine if, as the donor
claimed, Treasury Guards flag
had actually draped the box.
The label will be changed to-
day, Colonel Grant said, definite
ly establishing the identity of the
exhibit. The flag bears large
rent which was made by Booths
spur and which resulted in his
breaking an ankle bone while
effecting his sensation escape.
