On the outskirts of the crowd assembled to hear him was one J. Wilkes Booth, an actor, who had come to Washington the previous Saturday, and was stopping at the National Hotel. With him was a young man named David E. Herold. The 322 'LINCOLN THE PRESIDENT two seemed nervous and uneasy; and were no- ticeably so, when the tall form of the President appeared and commenced his speech. Finally, Lincoln made use of this expression : ... " It is also unsatisfactory to some that the election franchise ...is not given to the colored man. / would myself prefer that it were now conferred on the very intelligent, and on those who serve our cause as soldiers. " It was at that juncture, Herold relates, that Booth nudged him, and said in a tone of bitter resentment : " That means nigger equality; now, by God! I'll put him through. " Booth was a young man of twenty-six, un- stable and erratic in character, and full of vanity, felicitating himself on his personal beauty. He had quit the stage some time before on account of a throat affection (I have seen a playbill an- nouncing his appearance at the Boston Museum in 1862), and was doing a little speculating in petroleum stocks as a business.
