Seward Attack

[Laurie Verge]

That stickpin was holding Booth's torn undershirt together, I think. Could it have been left on his body until the autopsy?

Roger - Lincoln's speech on the 11th did come after Mrs. Surratt had made her trip to Surrattsville that day. I can't imagine that Booth still considered the kidnapping feasible - where would he take Lincoln once Richmond fell?

Wasn't Harney's mission to blow up the White House supposed to change the fate of Lincoln and his Cabinet? Somewhere there had to be a point where Plan B kicked in. Maybe Harney's capture made Booth think about murder and Lincoln's speech pushed him over the edge???
