Mr. Weichmann is right; just think of that man (John W. Booth) having been here an hour before the assassination. I am afraid it will bring suspicion upon us."

And what proof do we have that Anna actually said that? The detectives had left the premises. Did Anna ever admit to such a statement? I don't recall her or anyone else mentioning this at the 1865 trial.
