" Just as Lincoln emerged from the narrow vestibule of the Calvert Street Station, Cipriano Ferrandini a Baltimore barber and a few associates planned to assassinate him". Pinkerton advised a schedule change.

I said Charles Wood because he was the barber who testitfied at John Surratt's trial that he cut Booth's hair the morning of the assassination. He also testified that he thought he cut Surratt's hair that morning, but this would be impossible if Surratt were in Elmira.
