On Feb. 9, 1956 popular TV host Gary Moore escorted an elderly man out on to the “I’ve Got a Secret” stage. It was the job of Bill Cullen, Lucille Ball, Henry Morgan and Jayne Meadows to uncover Samuel J. Seymour’s “secret” through a line of questioning.  My. Seymour had witnessed an historic event 91 year previously: the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln at Ford’s Theatre in Washington D.C.
