Where was John Surratt on April 14, 1865 ?

[Susan Higginbotham]

In his affidavit dated August 11, 1865, Weichmann writes that Anna said, "Oh, Ma! just think of that man's (John W. Booth) having been here an hour before the assassination!" We only have Weichmann's version of what Anna said, but it's clear from his parenthetical comment and from his earlier newspaper exchange with Brophy (July 26, 1865, where he writes that Booth visited the boardinghouse three times on April 14) that he thought her reference to "that man" meant Booth.
