Coffee with a Conspirator

[RJNorton]

Christine, one of the most unusual books out there is Mask for Treason by Vaughan Shelton. Shelton discusses his theory that the 'Brutus' in the Neff/Baker ciphers is none other than William Seward! I believe he feels Seward was part of a separate conspiracy, not JWB's.

Shelton also writes that David Herold tried to poison Booth. He claimed the field glasses Mary Surratt delivered to Lloyd contained poison that Herold put into Booth's whiskey.
