Because the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Police Department Superintendent waited 20 years to reveal that he was in the audience watching Our American Cousin when President Lincoln was shot. If he were telling the truth this just seems strange to me. In reading Tim Good's book I was very surprised to see the date for his first statement like this was April 17, 1885. And if there is any truth to the account of what he said at Gifford's Hall....the whole thing just seems odd to me. Pam, I am just saying how my mind works. I am not saying he didn't have a role in the subsequent investigation; I am just dubious that he was really inside the theater when the shot was fired.
