The Ford's have a larger theater from Baltimore and employees are shuffled between that location and Washington, as needed. They Ford's also managed one in Richmond. There had been an assassination attempt on Lincolns life in Baltimore. If I were Stanton, I would have jumped to the same conclusion. Arrest everyone, and sort it out later.

If Lincoln had been killed at Grovers Theater, Stanton probably would have done the same thing.

Has the April issue of CW Times been issued already?

Hi, Gene,
