  GrahamClayton: Pittsburgh player who wrote a play called "The Living Age", which opened in New York in 1882 to very poor reviews.

  Stonehenge: "Bock beer is an agreeable beverage in warm weather; but a Bock play is not desirable at any season of the year."

Note the names of Labourdonais and Mackenzie.

  Stonehenge: Is this our guy?

"He was married to Jessaline Rogers":

Rogers died Aug. 19 1917, aged 53.

Mar-07-16  zanzibar: <Stonehenge> Ha! I was just about to post the exact same.

Yes, quite likely it is the same... also check out:

<Mr. Bock always was a bad actor, but, generally, I hear, is a very bood fellow.>

Here, our good Mr. Bock is naming characters after LaBourdonnais and Mackenzie.

In fact, he attempts murder on Mackenzie and fails.

Mar-08-16  zanzibar: Here's an obit linking him to Booth, etc., putting him as 71 in 1916.

(right-most column, 5th from bottom)

I think that pretty much confirms it.

There's also an interesting tidbit in <The Chess Player's Chronicle> about him and the great fire.
