Next we’ll hear he kissed babies and helped old women cross streets. He was a murdering coward.
Oh, jma! There’s a well-known story that he once knocked down a homeless baby while running on the way to post a telegram. He picked the baby up, kissed it, wiped away his tears and crammed his hands with money. Booth could be amazingly kind and good natured. He certainly turned to the dark side at the end of his life - he was mad and a very heavy drinker and obsessed with the Confederate cause.
The story I told you is relayed in Clara Morris’s memoir. She worked with him in The Marble Heart.
I’ve studied the Booth family for 30 years.
He was certainly a murderer. I wonder what basis you have for the opinion he was a coward.
Not all evil men are cowards. The world would be a much safer place if it were.
Sadly, some evil men are brave and competent. They just decide to use their courage and competence in the service of evil.
