Mr. Weichmann is right; just think of that man (John W. Booth) having been here an hour before the assassination. I am afraid it will bring suspicion upon us."

Roger, Anna knew Booth very, very well, even had a photo of him hidden and was "very interested" in him. Why should she exclaim "just think of THAT man". Seems to me she was pointing to a stranger. Could it be Richard Smoot, who was at 9.30 pm (an hour before the assassination) in the boardinghouse?
