I do not believe the Petersen family knew Mary Surratt, and I don't think any of Booth's accomplices ever stayed at the Petersen House. However, two actors, John Mathews and Charles Warwick, said they had earlier rented the same room Lincoln died in (during the 1864-1865 play season). They both claimed that Booth had visited them and had rested on the bed (in which Lincoln died) during these visits.

Were they also arrested?
