Hogan stood up in 1900 (35 years after the fact), and admitted to all assembled, that he carried orders to Booth that he was not to shoot Lincoln. 116 years later, I learned about his efforts. That's all I know. I have no reason to doubt this statement.

Isn't that backwards? Doesn't one need reason to believe the statement rather than reason to doubt it?

I have endured a great deal of ridicule without much malice; and have received a great deal of kindness, not quite free from ridicule. I am used to it. (Letter to James H. Hackett, November 2, 1863)
