Pumphry and Booth's Spurs

[Jim Garrett]

A.C. Richards is another fascinating person. He spent most of his professional career before becoming police superintendent as a teacher. He had only been superintendent for a few months at the time of the assassination. He swung immediately and decisively into action and was at the Surratt boarding house around midnight of the 14th. He suspected that Mrs. Surratt was the #2 person in the plot.
