Ex-priest, Charles Chiniquy, wrote a book titled Fifty Years in the Church of Rome which portrayed the assassination of Lincoln as a Catholic grand conspiracy. Among other things Chiniquy claimed to have met with Lincoln three times in Washington. Chiniquy quotes Lincoln saying things like, "Your friends, the Jesuits, have not yet killed me." He includes other slanderous comments allegedly made by Lincoln against the Catholic Church. Personally I have never seen any independent corroboration that these meetings ever took place. They are not included in Lincoln Day By Day. Unless there is independent corroboration of these meetings, I consider the conversations to be the creation of Charles Chiniquy and not fact.
