***I read a report of what that witness had to say on the net about ten years ago, complete with photos of the scene (but not of Lincoln’s body). ***
Did he mention that Lincoln’s mummified body had turned dark, and a mortician smeared chalk on it to give it a lighter look?
There was something on the History Channel about the long strange history of what happened to Lincoln’s body, and I think they mentioned that they embalmed the body to the max when he died because of the planned tour they were going to make with it. Maybe that caused the mumification and darkening of the skin?
