I agree Laurie. I think Fletcher's testimony cleary has Herold riding away from Seward's house and heading down Pennsylvania Ave toward either the Kirkwood at 12th and Pennsylvania or possibly to the Navy Yard Bridge when he is surprised by Fletcher's confrontation near the Willard and gallops away in a different direction.
