He was off somewhere with the St Jean Baptiste Society. To protect him from association with the Raiders, she would have nothing to do with the ones in Jail. He and Young had a very Secret Agreement, that I think concerned lots of money. (We know he arrived back in Kentucky with enough money to open a Bank.)
If you are relying on "The Saga of Sarah Slater" where Hall said "When she left Salisbury is uncertain. # but in the middle off Jan. 1865 she...." Where I put the "#", is a three month gap. Which we now know - she was in Canada.

How do you know that she remained in Canada that entire time? If the Canadians had sent her down to Richmond to get the commission papers for the Raiders, why did they also send the spurious Rev. Cameron after she had already left?

Would you consider any possibility that she was at St. Lawrence Hall in December, but then returned to Richmond - from which she was sent in January bearing the papers needed in Canada? Is there any possibility in your mind that there were documents that needed to be sent from Canada to Richmond in the interim before the trial of the Raiders (and papers not necessarily even related to the raid)?

Frankly, John, I was confused enough to begin with without your "outside the box" theory being thrown in...
