If Mr. Stewart has found proof that this happened, I will take back all of my skepticism.

I have not read it either, and I don't know what the secret is that Mary allegedly told Bingham. But I listened to part of Mr. Stewart's talk, and although he didn't give away "the secret," he did say his novel goes off in a different direction (in other words, not theories like Stanton was behind everything, the Jesuits of Rome were behind it all, the Confederates carried it out, Andrew Johnson was behind it, etc.).
