Oddities of the Lincoln assassination

[MaddieM]

The "timing" of Lewis Powell's re-visit to the Surratt boardinghouse at the exact same moment that the detectives were there. If he had come either earlier or later, could he have avoided being captured?

I read somewhere that Powell was not humming Jimmy Jones' hit song when he arrived.

That's either got to be the worst twist of fate or he was subconsciously handing himself in!
