Samuel J. Seymour: Posledn\u00ed sv\u011bdek Lincolnovy vra\u017edy<\/h2>\n\n

Sv\u011bdek historie<\/h2>\n\n

Seymour\u016fv otec, policista z Washingtonu, D.C., ho vzal onoho osudn\u00e9ho ve\u010dera do Fordova divadla. Seymour sed\u011bl na balk\u00f3n\u011b a sledoval, jak John Wilkes Booth vstoupil do prezidentsk\u00e9 l\u00f3\u017ee a Lincolna zast\u0159elil.<\/p>\n\n

Odhalen\u00e9 tajemstv\u00ed<\/h2>\n\n

O n\u011bkolik desetilet\u00ed pozd\u011bji vystoupil Seymour v roce 1956 v televizn\u00ed sout\u011b\u017ei \u201eM\u00e1m tajemstv\u00ed\u201c. Tehdy mu bylo 95 let a sv\u00e9 tajemstv\u00ed si st\u0159e\u017eil po v\u00edce ne\u017e 90 let. Kdy\u017e byl vyzv\u00e1n, aby sv\u00e9 tajemstv\u00ed prozradil, ohromil Seymour porotu slovy: \u201eVid\u011bl jsem, jak John Wilkes Booth zast\u0159elil Abrahama Lincolna.\u201c<\/p>\n\n

Reakce poroty<\/h2>\n\n

Porotci sout\u011b\u017ee \u201eM\u00e1m tajemstv\u00ed\u201c byli Bill Cullen, Jayne Meadows a Garry Moore. Byli v\u0161ichni p\u0159ekvapeni, kdy\u017e sly\u0161eli Seymour\u016fv p\u0159\u00edb\u011bh. Cullen se Seymoura zeptal, zda bylo p\u0159\u00edjemn\u00e9 to vid\u011bt, na co\u017e Seymour odpov\u011bd\u011bl: \u201eNemysl\u00edm, \u017ee by to bylo moc p\u0159\u00edjemn\u00e9. B\u00e1l jsem se k smrti.\u201c<\/p>\n\n
