Stupid question?

[loetar44]

A former teacher of mine used to say that stupid or dumb questions do not exist. Maybe he had to say that not the question, but the questioner can’t be stupid, because a question doesn't have a brain. I realize that not all questions can be answered. That said, here is one. Sam Arnold said in his April 18, 1865 confession: “A box painted black like unto a sword box was sent to Booth from Hotel by a Porter there, to our room. Next day transferred in wagon, O’Laughlen acting pilot to some place. I was not present. After giving box to driver went to Georgetown and O’Laughlen had the full charge of it. M. O’Laughlen said he took it to a Mr. Heard and from thence the unknown carried it to his house, took guns out and carried them to Peedee. This latter clause Booth told me.” I suspect “Mr. Heard” and “the unknown” both are Davey Herold, “Peedee” is “T.B” and the “guns” were the two Spencer carbines which were hidden in John Lloyd's leased tavern on March 17 (or 18 ?) 1865. What does this forum think?
