I am intrigued by his stay at the Kirkwood House --> this means two people were scouting Andrew Johnson's residence. Wasn't Stringfellow released after being captured on April 3? Could he have returned to Washington using a disguise/alias? Could he have been staying at the Kirkwood House at the same time George Atzerodt was? If he checked in before April 13 his name would not be on the register Dave T. posted.

RJ Stringfellow started South - on the "Secret Line" April 1 +/-.
stopped at the Tavern, got arrested twice and escaped both times, each time he was a little further South. I can't see any time here for him to return to D.C. - even overnight.
I calculated his time to reach the Potomac, and compared that to the weather given in the log books of the gunboats, Stringfellow crossed the same night that Booth did - with the help of Jones. Stringfellow went North on this same route, so he knew Jones was there and what his job was.
