Baker's message and signature in the book authenticated by handwriting experts is a weird allegorical statement pointing an accusing finger at his superior, Edwin M.

Tt goes much farther in accusing Stanton but Neff and the magazine research editor were unable to -verify its authenticity, Robert H.

Fowler, editor of the Civil War Times, said the main question a-bout the message and its broad accusation centers on the veracity of Baker himself. Baker unquestionably had access to a great deal of secret information. It was he who directed the search for John Wilkes Booth. It was Baker who held Hie dying Booth's head and caught his last words.
