Quote:"While on his way to Cortlandt Street Ferry on November 26, 1864, Eckert found in a street car an unsealed envelop containing, among other papers, a letter giving directions, evidently referring to a kidnapping plot and also a picture of Lincoln with a rope around his neck and red ink-marks on the bosom of the shirt. These papers were afterward discovered to belong to Payne, the assassin, see chapter XXVII."

Seems Lew Powell must have been pretty bored just sitting in his boarding house bedrooms drawing silly pictures! Big Grin
