Throwing more Mudd in the game

[L Verge]

Going back to Booth having complained months ago about fatigue from riding a horse from Charles County back into D.C. (or at least to T.B.), wouldn't that also give fuel to my speculation that he knew he was going to have to have a layover at some point after the assassination and the Mudd home was the most likely spot - pretty isolated, home and outbuildings for security, someone he knew, someone a bit upscale to suit his gentlemanly tastes, someone who had cooperated so far. Send Davey out ahead of time to announce that something big was going to go down very soon and that the good doctor's help was going to be needed.

Again, let me stress that I am not condemning Dr. Mudd. I am just pointing out that he got caught again in Booth's way of manipulating people to meet his needs. Dr, Mudd was also a very disgruntled man as far as the outcome of the war - enough so that he talked about selling and leaving the area. Cooperate with Booth who was planning revenge of some sort.
