I know Sam said that in his memoirs, but I sure would love for him to explain what he meant in that letter about seeing what "R-----d" would say. I think his memoirs are much like Thomas Jones book on his part in Booth's escape -- protect the cohorts and captains to the end.

I suspect that Arnold along with some of the other conspirators may not have known how deep the roots of the conspiracy truly went but it's hard to argue they knew nothing (and that there was nothing to know). Especially with such thinly veiled references as exemplified in Laurie's post.
