Review: New York Herald, 24 August 1868, 4.

“Bryants’ Minstrels have captured the ‘Live Ingin,’ who is credited with having killed more people with laughter than any other ‘Ingin’ has done with his tomahawk. The operatic sensation of ‘Ill-True-Bad-Doer’ still remains upon the bills and attracts large audiences.”
