A little-known person

[RJNorton]

THANK YOU to Steve Williams for discovering this interview with Daniel Gleason. Steve writes, "I found this interview of Gleason from page 13 of the April 14, 1910 edition of the Boston Globe. I'm not sure what to make of his account of the particulars of what happened and what specifically Weichmann told him prior to the assassination.

Gleason says that he and his roommate, a Lt. Joshua W. Sharp (an adjutant from the Provost Marshal's office and who was aware of what Weichmann had told Gleason) after being awakened by the news of the assassination just after 10 - headed to Gen. Augur to inform him of the Surratt's connection to Booth. And that his information directly led to the Surratt boardinghouse being searched."
