Breaking a leg

[Dave Taylor]

Heath,

I'm on my way into DC to visit Congressional Cemetery and I'm using my phone to briefly respond. First, I heard Kauffman speak in November and he verbally stated that there were "seeds" of the Ford's break before Boith's diary but that the main reason for the exceptance of this idea was Booth's own words. I do not see the telegrams as ruining his theory at all. Second the way I see it, if there was some legitimate evidence for Wood's telegrams, he would have testified to them. It seems to me that Wood is just conjecturing based on the common knowledge that Booth fell awkwardly to the stage and his new knowledge that Booth broke his leg.
