I think the prosecution tried to show O'Laughlen was after Grant, but the incident actually happened at Stanton's house. On the night of April 13 the Stantons were having a reception, and Grant was present. Twice during the reception a "mysterious man" alleged to be O'Laughlen showed up at the door and was denied entrance both times. One time he said he wanted to see Stanton and the other time to see Grant. I don't think the prosecution's effort to show the mystery man was O'Laughlen worked. Also, Grant may not even have still been there when the mystery man arrived. He left the reception early and departed for the White House to see the Grand Illumination with Mary Lincoln.

Anita, I have never read that O'Laughlen was on the train with the Grants. Do you possibly recall where you saw that? I would like to check that out. Many thanks.
