Where was John Surratt on April 14, 1865 ?

I’m still puzzling and still have questions. Therefore I want to revive the discussion.

(1) If we do believe that Joseph Dye was mixed up with Lewis Carland, that Susan Jackson was confused and mistook the date, that there are serious problems with Theodore Rhodes testimony and if we assume that all other witnesses who saw Surratt (and some of them did know Surratt very good) in the streets of Washington city on April 14th are mistaken, we still have barber Charles Wood’s testimony. Is his testimony also unreliable? If the answer is “yes”, why?

(2) How reliable are the testimonies of Charles Stewart, John Cass, Frank Atkinson, Joseph Carroll? They all did not know John Surratt and they all testified that they saw him on April 13th OR April 14th in Elmira (note: not ON April 14th). And how reliable is the testimony of Augustus Bissell, who also did not know Surratt but saw him on April 14th in the Brainard House in Elmira.
