No need to question this Lincoln conspirator’s guilt

[Anita]

Thank you Laurie. I was confused about the items kept at the Surratt Tavern for the kidnapping and those for the assassination.

I also wanted to add to my previous post I believe that Booth shared his true plans with Mary late on April 14 because he wanted her to understand why it was now necessary to kill Lincoln. He had been drinking heavily and perhaps he was even trying to convince himself. He couldn't tell his mother or sister and Mary was the comforting woman's ear he needed in the final hour as he went off to an unknown fate.
