April 25, 1865: Search for Booth Continues

APRIL 25TH, 1865:  The search for President Lincoln's assassins followed rumors in all directions, and warships in the large Union Navy were available to speed the investigation.

The Navy Department ordered Commodore Radford (he had been at Fort Fisher) at Hampton Roads:  "Send a gunboat to the mouth of the Delaware  for one week to examine and arrest all suspicious characters and vessels."
