↑ Burroughs was also known as "John Peanut", "Peanut John", John Bohran, and other aliases.[1]
↑ Though the steel ball Booth used as a bullet was of a .41 caliber, the derringer type was a small, easily concealable gun known to be inaccurate and usually just used in close quarters.[13] The bullet most probably passed mainly through the left side of the brain causing massive damage including the skull fractures, hemorrhaging, and secondary severe edema (or swelling of the brain that occurred after the initial injury). While Dr. Leale's notes mention Lincoln's bulging right eye, [14] the autopsy only specifically states the damage to the left side of the brain.[15][16]
