In spite of the $100,000 bounty being offered,
-
Jones keeps Booth and Herold hidden and fed
-
while government troops occupy and sweep through the region.
-
Later, Jones will claim that Booth's singular desire
-
was for newspapers.
-
So, it is here, in the pine thicket,
-
that Booth reads the horrific accounts,
-
the lurid details, and bloody result
-
of Lewis Powell's attack
-
on Secretary of State William Seward.
-
Murder! He's killing my father!
-
Help!
