Bill, long ago I read a book in which the author gave his personal opinion on why this happened. I cannot recall the book. But the author maintained that Powell was telling the truth as he saw it. The writer felt Booth never told Powell the degree of Mary's involvement and knowledge of the plotting. So Powell truly believed she was a totally innocent woman.
