Interesting Visit

[SSlater]

Someone in Canada was sufficiently skilled to be able to take decent pictures of the Raiders, at the time of their trial. There are two pictures of the Raiders - one is said to be on the Court House steps.
That same person may have provided a good picture of the women who attended to the prisoners. This shows that a decent picture could have been made of her. ("Goodole watzer name").
I should not care whether or not Sarah was recruited "to go for Documents - from Richmond or from Canada". But strange new claims, totally unsupported, annoy me. Can anyone show a source for the claim?
Here is what Headley says.... "Mrs _______". a widow, only 24 years old, employed by the Confederate Government for Secret Service in the Northern States had come to Montreal and called on the prisoners at the jail. (There was no USO troop to sing and dance, so she tried to get them to smile). They needed help so she volunteered to make the trip. I can't see any room here for doubt.
I did study this event, at some length and came to the conclusion that Headley, knew her name!. This quote was written just before 1905. Does a widow carry the "Mrs" title after the death of her spouse? Does she revert to her Maiden name? I think people Called her a widow - because that was her disguise. I think Headley only emphasized her disguise as a widow. Otherwise he might have used her full name. (He could have said "An unknown lady...."
New question. Who was it that invited her to the proposed Honorarium in Kentucky in 1867? (He knew her name and knew where she lived. ) (P.S. She was living in New York City with Rowan, based on information in her divorce papers. ) She may have been found through the Divorce Proceedings. Her name and Rowan's was published over a string of months, in an effort to find him and get him to attend the hearings (He didn't show.)

For Laurie. A good candidate for "the other woman' that you seek might be Josephine Brown She came to Canada with Sarah (and Cameron) and was working in Thompson's Office. Her Uncle was the one who approved the St. Albans Raid, and was being criticized for it.
His name was Clay. (Her husband worked there too.) I'm sure Clay would want to have "one of his people - on the scene"
