RE: Christian Rath
Hi, Roger - and Merry Christmas!

According to what he told Gillette, and I don't think that he would lie when practically "on his deathbed", he stated that he was working for the Secret Service and his orders were from men "high up in the Confederate hierarchy." Although he claimed that he saw Booth as his "superior" (according to Eckert and Doster), he did not mention taking orders from him except on the night of April 13th or 14th during the final meeting.....we'll probably never know; but I find that half the "charm" of the whole affair!
