Did Booth even know that Spangler handed the horse off to Peanut John? Was JWB expecting to see Spangler with the horse when he got to the alley?

I suspect he didn't know until he ran out of the theater. Upon further review, I'm certain he was referring to Spangler. Before Herold made his comments regarding Booth's sympathy for the man who held his horse, he was asked about the Carpenter.

I'll see if I can cross reference the dates Booth and Herold were in the Pine Thickets with the newspaper accounts of suspects being arrested.
