I tend to believe that in writing his book, Bates invented facets of 'what St.Helen had told him about escaping and traveling as John Wilkes Booth'. As with the Lincoln fiction and Corbett glosses, Bates was smoothing and adding a narrative, I tend to believe. If John St. Helen was John Wilkes Booth, the truth of the matter was greatly muddled with Finis Bates coming into the picture.

This sounds like your are changing direction with some of your ideas, which is fine, making a new decision based on additional information.
