Booth hopscotches through the Northeast, Quebec, the Caribbean and obtains a passport through the British Consulate in San Francisco, having âappropriatedâ the identity of British immigrant John B. Wilkes, then of Terre Haute, Indiana.
Three women recount the time they spent with Booth after his âdeath.â Boothâs reputed wife Izola is aided by another âdeadâ man in her efforts to join Booth in San Francisco.
Boothâs treachery knows no bounds as he cuts Izola adrift on the Pacific from the ship he commissioned to take them to India. She survives.
Years later, Booth as Wilkes returns to the United States for a brief time with his last wife, the former Elizabeth Marshall Burnley of England. After Boothâs death, she writes a series of letters importuning U.S. Grantâwhom she had met in 1877in India during his post-Presidential global tourâto release Boothâs frozen assets for a dispersal among her, her daughters, three other women and the children they bore him.
Booth, as John B. Wilkes, âbelieving death to be imminent,â executes his will, Sept. 12, 1883, in Bombay, India, and is buried in Guwahati. The will is certified and probated in the U.S. and its instructions followed. The real John B. Wilkes, formerly of Sheffield, England, dies in Terre Haute in 1912.
