Andrew Johnson - Mistress

[L Verge]

Just a thought from me regarding why Johnson was not out celebrating on the night of the assassination: Wasn't the VP sort of a pariah after his "performance" at the Second Inaugural? Who were his friends in DC that he might party with? Wasn't Stanton at home and unoccupied with partying that night also?

Johnson may have been a man who craved sexual attention at times, but for some reason I just don't see it happening in a public hotel once he became VP. I am more inclined to see him staying home and brooding over drinks after being rebuffed by so many colleagues after his inauguration.
