Assassination Trivia

[RJNorton]

Steve and Steve -- I think Bill said it all when he noted, "While introduced at the trial, apparently Tidwell, Hall and Gaddy did not view them as relevant to connect the conspiracy to Richmond, as neither Mrs. Hudspeth nor Mr. Selby are mentioned in Come Retribution." IMO, it was a real stretch for the prosecution to introduce these letters during the trial. Theodore Roscoe writes, "What did they (the letters) mean? What did they prove? General Dix himself took the first letter to be a hoax."
