The New York Crowd

[Thomas Thorne]

Salmon Chase,leading abolitionist, conspiring with other abolitionists, AND Stanton AND Baker AND cotton speculators AND Judah P. Benjamin AND JWB AND the Pope AND August Belmont acting for the Rothschilds seems very Sunn International to me.

Would not such a breathtakingly disparate and antagonistic group of conspirators plotting in a New York hotel have to summon the desk clerk to get take out ammunition after they shot each another first?

I have often wondered if Booth's "New York crowd" consisted of a babe he stashed away in a New York apartment. Would you not want to get away from George Atzerodt?

Remember the military admonition KISS-"Keep It Simple,Stupid."
