Yes! Yes! Yes! Lafayette Baker has a story in his "History of the U. S. Secret Service", that describes Surratt's train ride from Elmira to Montreal. His agents are following Surratt. He is Identified outright. His traveling companion (Sarah) is described as a small man, all bundled up, and not allowed to talk to anyone. (She was less then 5'-0" tall). (Rowan was 5'-1" tall.)In Montreal, they signed into the St. Lawrence Hall, together. He is "John Harrison", she is "A. Raynaud" (That is her mother's maiden name.)
Baker's stories have never been shown to be lies. He is criticized, as being "Self Laudatory", but that's all.
Whenever, Sarah was in Montreal, she signed as "A. Raynaud" except on March 17th 1865, when she arrived at 3:00 AM. She used "Nettie Slater" at that time. (Look for her in Dec. 64, Mar. and April, '65)

If the Baker story is not available to everyone, I can copy it and Post it. It runs several pages, but we can work that out.
