Where was John Surratt on April 14, 1865 ?

Steve, I do not know about the Webster House register. I have also been curious about the Brainard House register which went missing.

In Lincoln's Assassins: A Complete Account of Their Capture, Trial, and Punishment author Roy Chamlee writes:

"Surratt told his lawyers that he had stayed at the Brainard House in Elmira on April 13 and April 14. But when the lawyers searched for the crucial register, it could not be found. Their exhaustive efforts lasted several weeks. They questioned everyone connected with the hotel, but no one could find the register. Every other guest book before and after the missing one was available."
