Booth's visit to the Surratt Boarding House after the assassination

[Laurie Verge]

Wow, John Fazio. I knew that you can come out firing double-barreled shotguns after I had to take some grief from a question/statement you made from the audience at last year's Surratt conference. However, you may have outdone yourself in your posting here!

Maybe it's the school teacher in me, but I never cut people off at the knees when they are thinking through legitimate questions. And trust me, in the forty years I have worked at Surratt House, I have been hit with every plausible or stupid theory that you can imagine. Isn't it the scientific principle to pose a theory and then work to prove it? It seems to me that that is what other posters here have done.

And, exactly what verifies your statement that no one in the Mudd household would have given Booth the weapons? What about the doctor himself? I can't prove that he did, but I don't think you can prove that he didn't.
