The Mad Hatter who killed Lincoln's assassin

[URL=.html][IMG][/IMG][/URL]

You ever wonder what happened to the man who killed Lincoln's killer? Seems he was a mad-hatter who disappeared into America's past. Interesting bit of history about the events and men involved in the chase for Booth.

A few years ago I read "Manhunt" by James L. Swanson. This makes a nice follow-up.

I wonder if Jack Ruby was a hatter on the side.

Even as a child, I could tell he was a fanatical nutcase.
