Booth's comments on Spangler ?

[Craig Hipkins]

I can imagine that it was quite a surprise when Booth bolted out the back door and saw Peanut Burroughs holding his horse. Imagine how history could have changed if Spangler had tied the horse to a hitching rail rather than pass it off to Peanut. Would this have given Major Stewart the time to have possibly stopped Booth? We will never know, but it is tantalizing to speculate. Also, Does anyone know if there was a hitching rail in the alley in back of Ford's?
