After assassinating President Abraham Lincoln, John Wilkes Booth fled to Maryland, hid in a barn, and died when the barn was set ablaze after he refused to surrender. Decades later, in 1903, dying Enid, Oklahoma resident David E. George claimed on his deathbed to be Booth. This MGM Mystery short examines evidence that George’s claim might be genuine.
