Lincoln's assassin,
John Wilkes Booth (1838-1865?), tended bar at a
Granbury,Texas saloon long after he was officially dead, as John
St. Helen, who confessed to the capital crime in the late 1870s.
After escaping the Feds with the help of his co-conspirators, he
made his way to Texas through a sympathetic South. He is not
buried here, because after his death,
St. Helen was mummified
and displayed in traveling shows until 1972,
when the mummy
vanished.
