NEW FACT ABOUT LINCOLN
TOLD BY HIS BODYGUARD.
Did Guard Leave His Post the Night
Lincoln Was Shot7
Colonel William H. Crook, who was
Lincoln’s bodyguard, brings up a new
point regarding the president’s assas
sination in his recently published book
of reminiscences, "Through Five Ad
ministrations.” Colonel Crook writes:
“X have often wondered why the neg
ligence of the guard who accompanied
the president to the theater on the
night of the 14th has never been di
vulged. So far as 1 know, it was not
even investigated by the police de
partment. let had he done his duty
I believe President Lincoln would not
have been murdered by Booth. The
man was John Parker. It was the
custom for the guard who accompa
nied the president to the theater to
remain in the little passageway out
side the box—that passageway through
which Booth entered. Mr. Bucking
ham, who was the doorkeeper at Ford’s
theater, remembers that a chair was
placed there for the guard on that
evening of the 14th. Whether Parker
occupied it at all 1 do not know. If he
did he left it almost immediately, for
he confessed to me the next day that
he went to a seat at the front of the
first gallery so that he could see the
piny. To me It is very probable that
the fact that there was no one on
guard may have determined the time
of the attack."
