She was probably praying to God to help the conspirators when Weichmann saw her praying the Rosary Friday night.

This I could imagine, too. Maybe she was a little insecure about sin or not sin, her request to "pray for my intentions" would hint at such, at least to me it is a strong hint that she knew a lot.

Another question - wouldn't it have been better for her to back Powell's statement he came to dig a gutter? Since he had visited her house previously (which was safe to be found out) she could have claimed just having heard of his manual skills in superficial small talk.
