assassination

[Gene C]

Some thought has been given to the idea that Weichmann may have had a romantic interest in Anna Surratt. If that was the case he's not leaving the boarding house.
After the assassination, if not before, the feeling was not mutual. In addition to the landlady's daughter, the food was probably pretty good, rent reasonable. Surratt was not at home much, so no big problems with his roommate, plus on occasion he got to hang around with a theatrical star. That's reason to put up with a few inconveniences.
