The well-known actor
And presumed Confederate sympathizer

John Wilkes Booth is supposed to have:
Snuck into the President Box at Fords Theatre
By giving a note to the Usher

While he’s packing a gun
And a large knife
And a big stick which he blocks the door to the Presidents Box

The President’s one and only guard
Is supposed to have wandered off to a nearby tavern

Booth is supposed to have shot Lincoln with a 44 caliber Derringer
A gun notorious for it’s slow speed bullets not penetrating
A gun which inflicts minimum harm

Nobody is supposed to have heard the gunshot
Though the theatre is renown for it’s great acoustics
And the President’s Box is right above the stage

Booth is supposed to stab a Senator sitting next to Lincoln
Then jump 18 feet down to the stage

And scare everyone with his knife
While quoting Brutus from Julius Caesar

Mary Todd Lincoln is supposed to have:
Waited patiently for him to finish
Then yell
He has killed the President

200 Guards are supposed to then rush in
While at the same time Booth makes his escape out

Another fanciful story
In the made-up Civil War!
