We realize that the segment of this program is available elsewhere on YouTube, but we liked it so much that we included it on our channel, shared it with those who have never seen it and translated it into Italian. We have also added an excerpt from the cited article at the end of the video which sheds a little more light on Mr Seymour's shocking experience.

Here is the link to the "I Saw Lincoln Shot" article about Mr. Seymour mentioned in the video:
