Betty needs to help me here, but for some reason I think that Powell's conversation with Dr. Gillette and his comment about Mrs. Surratt carried a caveat to the effect that the lady did not know the full details of the plans?

As far as showing up at the boardinghouse days later, I suspect that his being in hiding had kept him out of the loop as to what was going on arrest-wise. And, he was hungry and dirty and needed shelter. Her place was the easiest for him to find all three.
