209 INFORMING WAR DEPARTMENT THAT BOOTH LIVES. Neither Booth nor Herold could have gone to ar- range this appointment. Booth was lame and Her- old did not know the country in that direction, so remained with Booth, who was suffering a great deal. There can be no well founded doubt but that Buddy went in advance and made this appointment as detailed to me by St. Helen (Booth) . After successfully locating St. Helen (Booth) at Leadville and later at Fresno, California, I was reasonably sure he st...ill lived and could be located, and supposing it to be a matter of interest to the United States government, I addressed the following letter to the War Department : "Law Office of F. L. BATES, "297 Second Street, "Memphis, Tenn., January 17th, 1898. "Secretary of War, Washington, D. C.
