This is my 15 event timeline of the happenings in Lincoln´s Grave Robbers.

# data[].attributes.body
This is the day Abraham Lincoln was born. None of this would have happened if he hadn't been born!

Again, most likely none of this would have been history without Abraham Lincoln himself. On this date, he became the 16th president of the United States.

Benjamin Boyd was born. Little did his parents know that he´d be the nation top and most wanted counterfeiter, later on in his life.
BEN BOYD----

Patrick Tyrrell, who works for the U.S. Secret Service, went to Ben Boyd's house to find his working on counterfeit money. They arrested Ben Boyd, but let his wife Allie Boyd go, because she wasn't part of the business. Ben Boyd goes to the Joliet County Prison in Springfield, Illinois.
PATRICK TYRRELL----

On April 14th, 1865 at Fordś Theater, seeing a show at the theater with his family Lincoln was shot by John Wilkes Booth. Later that night, he passed away.

Swegles and Hughes met up at the bar named ¨The Hub¨.  They have raised enough money ($2,000) to bail Ben Boyd out of the Joliet County Prison. They get into an a spat about who has the most real money.  At this point in, Tyrell and some Secret Service men know about the Hub, so they are keeping an eye on it.

Tyrrell and, new U.S. Secret Service chief, James Brooks went to the Hub. They were starting to piece together the plan of stealing Lincoln's body- they knew Lewis Swegles and what he did. They accused Swegles of being drunk. When they returned to their office they started further investigating the case.

The Logan County Gang asked Swegles to join the gang. They said they needed somebody that was a quality craftsman, so Swegles would be perfect for the job.
BUT, he decided for Billy Brown to take his place instead.

The gangś plan was to meet at the Chicago and Alton Depot that night. They would take the late train at 9:00 to Springfield, Illinois. The next day, they would get Lincolns body once and for all.

LIttle did the gang know, the Secret Service was following them. At roughly 8:00 AM, Tyrrell and his team reached the  train station, to follow the gang and hopefully stop them.

SECRET SERVICE-- Tyrell and Power toured the memorial to figure out ways that might be able to stop or help them catch the gang. Tyrrell does some experiments.
Tyrell and Power pretend to be on duty, and keep watch.

GANG- They continue working on plans for the break-in. Swegles agrees to go to jail. They eat dinner, and go to the memorial.  When they get to the memorial they cant get the lid off. They finally get the lid off and realize there is a empty box reserved for Mary Lincoln.

# data[].attributes.body
Tyrell and Power have a whole plan. The gang is falling into it perfectly! Tyrell and Power bust into the room, but they aren' t there. They search the grounds. The gang had completely escaped.

# data[].attributes.body
The gang was lost, hungry, filthy, and had only a sack of potatoes. They had landed in a hotel many, many miles from springfield in Sherman, Illinois. With the news all over, the gang all got on a train and headed home.

# data[].attributes.body
