Thos. Holborn was to meet us on the road and help in the kidnapping. Bailey & Barnes knew nothing of the affair unless Booth told Bailey & he told Barnes. Booth had met Bailey on "C" St. with me. I did not meet Booth or any other of the party in Baltimore on or about the 31 of March.

Does anyone know anything about Barnes and Bailey?

These two must have been among "the half that they didn't get""
I assumed that since they were friends of Atzerodt and operated along the Potomac, that they were to help with the "Big Boat". Since they never called for the big boat, they never called for them. Atzerodt may have given them some money, or promised big money, but never made the call.
