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

[wsanto]

I believe Lloyd was more involved to the extent that he was willing to help the cause, hide the guns, lie to investigators, and do whatever else was requested of him. Although he probably did not know the full extent of the plot against Lincoln and probably did not know Lincoln would be assassinated that night. Of course if Mary knew of the assassination and trusted Lloyd, she may have told him of the plans the afternoon of the assassination.

I also believe Stanton, believing Lloyd to be an abetter to the crime and escape, made the decision to grant him immunity from prosecution because Stanton wanted Mary to hang and he needed Lloyd's testimony to condemn her.
