Despite Mr. Hall's expertise, Michael Shein (in his book entitled John Surratt: The Lincoln Assassin Who Got Away) writes that he found a way it could be done. If I am reading the book correctly Shein says Surratt could have traveled from Elmira to Williamsport, then to Sunbury, then to Baltimore, then to Washington arriving as early as 5:45 A.M. on April 14th.

Kees....in John's book: John does a terrific job of poking holes in Rhodes' testimony on pp. 187-188.
