(11-08-2013 11:28 AM)John Fazio Wrote:  Among other things, McMillan said that Surratt, under the influence of alcohol and feeling safe outside of American jurisdiction (if a bit paranoid about some passengers), told him that he, Sarah Slater and others who were making their way to Richmond between 3-25 anad 3-31, 1865, murdered in cold blood a half dozen or so emaciated Union POW's who had escaped their captors. He also said that Surratt admitted that he and his companions murdered Union seamen who were approaching their craft on the Potomac for the purpose of accepting their surrender, to which Surratt and his companions had previously agreed to, thereby successfully escaping capture. He also said that Surratt admitted to summary execution of a Union telegrapher, caught in the act of telegraphing, somewhere in Virginia. In addition, he said to McMillan that "If you knew all the things I have done, it would make you stare (or gape)", or something to that effect. I believe we may safely surmise that Surratt's admissions to McMillan are the tip of the iceberg. Recall, too, that he allegedly told Ste. Marie that "We have killed Lincoln, the n-----s friend" and that if he met Weichman when he returned to the States, he would kill him. That's enough evidence for me.

This would add some credence to the fact that Weichmann feared retaliation from Surratt or other southern spy, even in his latter years.

So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in?
