What Was The Role of David Herold

[Gene C]

Thanks Betty.....good answers.
I had forgotton how long he was hidden, and (don't tell anyone- I'm at work - so I couldnt look it up) do you know if his facial injuries could have been caused by overzealous interrogation? Nothing real obvious in the arrest photo's, but I didn't look to hard. Would there be some other kind of "safe house" or place he could go for help other than Mrs. Surratts, if he wanted to?
Were there "cheap hotels", where he might have gone to wash up and get a meal? Maybe a helpfull "lady of the evening"? By this time (2 days after the assassinaiton, was Washington covered with people looking for him, or was more attention placed somewhere else than DC?.

I'll give you a break, I've got to get back to work, and I'm sure you do too. Thanks
