Escape speculations

[Jim Page]

Gene, I've seen old tobacco barns, too, and you're right about the boards not being tight against one another. In the case of the barn in question, I've read somewhere that some of the Garrett's neighbors had furniture and stuff stored in that barn, and that clutter may have hindered Booth had he tried to kick some boards loose and scoot out of there.

I'm willing to bet that the man shot there was JWB, but I still wonder if he and Herold had saddlebags, and, if so, what was in them.
