Booth indeed injured his leg and sought medical treatment before his capture. The child felt sorry for the man who obviously had injured himself jumping from the presidential box to the stage. The audience's laughter in reaction to the play muffled the sound of the gunshots for many people. After she uncovered it, Moore explained to her, the other panelists and viewers that when John Wilkes Booth jumped down from the presidential box at Fords Theatre immediately after shooting Lincoln, five-year-old Seymour witnessed only that jump without knowing that any shots had been fired. Whatever the truth of his residence, his secret was uncovered by Jayne Meadows. When Seymour died two months later on the anniversary of the assassination, newspapers said he was a longtime resident of Arlington, Virginia.
Garry Moore introduced this senior citizen, Samuel Seymour, by saying he hailed from Maryland. The telecast that aired live on February 9, 1956, with Lucille Ball as a guest panelist, featured a 96-year-old contestant who was the last surviving witness to the assassination of Abraham Lincoln.
YOU NEVER GUESS MY SECRET IDENTITY SERIES
Reruns of the CBS series currently air as part of Game Show Network's Black and White Overnight programming block.
Like "What's My Line," "Secret" had millions of faithful viewers during its CBS run, and spawned a number of revivals (including a weekly syndicated series in 1972 and a 2000 revival on the Oxygen network). During the final segment of the show, a celebrity guest revealed his/her own secret, each followed by a segment, in which the panelists participated. Usually, a skit or demonstration of the secret followed each story. The process repeats until either the secret is guessed or if all four panelists are unable to guess the secret, meaning the contestant receives the maximum payout of $80 (during the early years, each panelist had two questioning periods, with $10 paid per unsuccessful try). Each panelist has one 30-second period to ask questions that will help them try to guess the secret if a panelist fails to guess the secret before the buzzer sounds, the contestant(s) receive(s) $20 and the next panelist gets a turn. As with "Line," four celebrity panelists try to guess an unknown-to-them secret, which the contestant (or sometimes group of contestants) whispered in the host's ear the secret was always shown to the television and studio audience. "I've Got a Secret" debuted on the heels of the successful "What's My Line?" Though "Secret" had somewhat similar rules, there were other elements that gave the show its own distinctive flavor.
