RE: Did JWB visit Mary's boarding house after the assassination?
I have said repeatedly that my thoughts on Mrs. Surratt changed greatly about 35 years ago when I transcribed her statements upon arrest for a booklet we still publish and sell at Surratt House. I was very impressed with how cool and calm she was under questioning - almost as if she had known the moment would come and she had rehearsed for it.
As to the original question as to whether or not Booth went to the H Street home AFTER the assassination, there is no way in God's little green acres that Wild Bill will ever convince me of that. Before the deed was done, yes; but not afterwards. It just doesn't make sense that he would do that. As of 10:30 that night, I doubt that he had any thoughts at all about Mary Surratt. She had served her purpose earlier in the day. |
