RE: Did JWB visit Mary's boarding house after the assassination?
This has been an interesting and informative thread. However, at this point, I stand by my first posting that Booth would not have stopped in the City after the shooting. My opinion remains that he would have wanted to get out of town as fast as he could. His only stop before he reached southern Maryland was probably at the bridge talking to Cobb.

Regarding the second part of this thread that has developed … it appears to me that Weichmann perjured himself during his May testimony, in the trial of the conspirators, when he answered Reverdy Johnson by saying that he did know who the visitor was that stopped by Mary Surratt’s boarding house before the shooting. I conclude that because the post-testimony evidence that I’ve seen in this thread seems to show that Weichmann knew it was Booth.
