Dave Taylor / Davey Herold Question

[L Verge]

To our knowledge, Powell was never in Surrattsville - and I don't think he ever intended to go there. He was a Mosby man, trained to skedaddle, not follow the pack. Booth and Herold had worked on the southern escape route; Powell had plans to head north to Baltimore and friends. Atzerodt knew his way to Charles County and Montgomery County, so he was on his own. Once the deeds were done, it was safer to split in all directions because they did not need each other from that point on.
