John Minchin Lloyd - Who was he...really?

[J. Beckert]

My thoughts are the same as yours, Roger. I can't see Mary renting the tavern, a know hotbed of Confederate underground activity, to someone who was not sympathetic to the cause. Lloyd was told by Booth that they'd assassinated the President and Sect'y of State and did not originally divulge that to the authorities. I think he was eventually truthful in his testimony, but by that time I think he was trying to distance himself.
