Reading your book, John - I must say that it is fascinating and I'm really enjoying it! You bring up some good points -

Here is the McClearmont testimony from the Surratt Trial: Vol I, pp. 365-366.

I have known about "Mrs. Condby's Boarding House and Restaurant" for awhile. I remember Mr. Hall talking about it - I looked it up in the 1864 DC City Directory and she did indeed keep a boarding house and restaurant.

It is my opinion that the "boys" either met at the Canterbury Music Hall on the night of the 14th - or rather, Mrs. Condby's - NOT the Herndon House.... Mr. Hall also seemed to think the same thing....

Betty:

Thanks for the compliment. Coming from someone with your credentials on this subject, it is especially meaningful. And thank you too for mentioning Mrs. Condby's Boarding House and Restaurant. This is a detail that escaped my attention, but which I will now look into.
