The detectives' first visit to the boardinghouse was over with before they found Powell's horse. The tack identification tying it to Atzerodt came later and was added to the list of known associates of Surratt and Booth that later precipitated the ill-fated return of the detectives and Powell to the boardinghouse at the same time a few days later.

Also, the one-eyed horse (Cyclops) was purchased from the Gardiner family, next door neighbors to Dr. Mudd. That's interesting about the blood found on the horse's gear, Betty. I don't remember this ever being mentioned. Please don't tell me it was in your first edition of Alias Paine and I missed it! I will plead, however, that I read that great book over twenty years ago...
