RE: Where was John Surratt on April 14, 1865 ?
Another government witness who seems sincerely believable (to me) was an attorney named Benjamin Vanderpoel. He said he saw Surratt with Booth in a saloon on the afternoon of April 14th.
Here is a small portion of Vanderpoel's testimony: ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Q. Did you ever see Surratt before? A. I cannot say that I did. Q. Did you ever see him since? A. Not until this morning. Q. You have examined him very carefully this morning? A. I noticed one alteration. The goatee he has on now he did not have then. Q. You have examined him carefully, and you have no sort of doubt the man? A. I have no sort of doubt he was the man I saw in that place. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Does anyone know if that is correct - did Surratt not have a goatee on April 14th, 1865? |
