The evidence that sealed Mrs. Surratt's fate

[Jim Garrett]

Just throwing this out for discussion: Could Mrs. Surratt have been Booth's handler or the person he reported to? Could she possibly be more of a key individual in this situation than is currently acknowledged?

I have no opinion on this, other than a suspicion that a person with such an implacable personality may be capable of more than one might otherwise expect.

Wow Jim. I never ever even considered that Mary Surratt could have been THE operative in Washington! Boy, that would really give a whole new perspective on it.

She runs a safehouse in Maryland, then is instructed to move her base of operation into D.C. as the war becomes more desparate, and an abduction plot(s) is put into action.

Explains a little more on Gus Howell.
