As a result of his talk, a L. T. Hogan claimed to have delivered a message to Washington, that ordered Booth not to shoot the President.
That looks interesting, but I don't have time right now. Does anyone want to get started???
I'm not positive, but I think that Hogan worked at the Torpedo Bureau.
I think that a place to start would be for someone who has "Newspapers", to find an announcement of Richards Talk, find the name of the "Club" and maybe any comments on the Talk.
That's all I have right now. If I find more, I'll post it.
It would be a step forward, if we can find that Richards did make a talk. Good Luck!

There was a Leonard T. Hogan living in Eustis, Lake Co. FL in 1900
he lived 1848 to 1912. In 1865 he would have been 17. Looks like we found the guy. Now, did he do it?
