coln. According to sources close to
the governor, he had telephoned
the custodian, Virginia Stuart
Brown, to have the house open
ed. When he arrived, he dismiss
ed the car. gained admittance
and walked through the rooms.
Then he stopped at the living
room and sat in Lincoln's old

that he had relived the "agony"
of Lincoln and found it a trem
endous experience.
