RE: Words from Dr. Richard Mudd
In addition to Laurie's questions I would like to throw one out there also. In his "lost statement" George Atzerodt said, "I am certain Dr. Mudd knew all about it, as Booth sent (as he told me) liquors & provisions for the trip with the President to Richmond, about two weeks before the murder to Dr. Mudd's."
Ever since I read that many years ago I just automatically assumed Booth told Atzerodt the provisons were sent to Dr. Samuel Mudd's. Dr. Richard Mudd claims that it was actually Dr. George Mudd who was holding the provisions. Atzerodt does not specify which Mudd it was. Is this possible? When Booth told Atzerodt that provisions were sent to Dr. Mudd's could he actually have been referring to Dr. George Mudd? Any chance Richard Mudd might be right? |
