Mudds aim to clear name of doc who treated Lincoln killer

[Rhatkinson]

The most compelling evidence to disprove the "Booth wore a disguise at Mudd's" argument is Booth's interaction with Lloyd during he and Davy's stop at Surratt Tavern.

There, Booth tells Lloyd, who is a stranger to him, his "bit of news" that he has assassinated the president and Seward. If Booth would brag about the assassination with Lloyd, it is impossible to believe that he would suddenly do an about face and not only fail to mention the assassination to Dr. Mudd just hours later (which is one of the claims that the Mudd family makes), but also don a disguise to attempt to hide his identity from a person who he is very familiar with. It makes zero sense and I am convinced that not only did Booth not wear any kind of disguise, but that he also told Dr. Mudd about the assassination immediately.
