JWB In Mercy Street

[SSlater]

Stringfellow MAY have been involved in the assassination in some minor way, but, he left Washington before the 14th, so he wasn't there for the big show. He tells us about his trip down through southern Maryland, in "Stringfellow of the 4th" - so with captures and escapes and similar delays, he crossed the Potomac on the same night that Booth did, with guidance from Tom Jones. (That would account for Jones' being without a boat handy, for Johnny boy,)
