The Mother and Son Team That Conspired to Kill Lincoln

[BettyO]

Quote:Another possibility suggested by Heath in a different thread was that Mary told Bingham about a much broader conspiracy. Certainly that is also a possibility.

Powell reiterated to Eckert that there was a much broader conspiracy as well ("You haven't got the one-half of them.") It could very well be that Mary told Bingham more than was stated. She was more or less protecting her son. IF she knew where John was, she wasn't going to say. The question springs up did Anna know where John was? How much did Anna know - if anything? It's a good bet that she as well as her mother knew what was going on in that small house. Weichmann certainly knew. I'm sure that since all three lived in the same vicinity (Baltimore) in later years that they kept in close contact and that Anna and John probably did share secrets which they were not going to divulge. Likewise, one wonders how much Anna told her husband or John told his wife later on.
