Ballistic in Buffalo

From a Seneca County, New York newspaper in 1865:

When J. Wilkes Booth played in Buffalo three years ago, he broke a plate glass window in the store of O.E. Sibley, where a lot of rebel trophies were exhibited. He was arrested, paid the damage and a fine of fifty dollars, and the affair was kept out of the newspapers. He broke the window in his rage at seeing the exhibition of weapons taken from the rebels.
