John Surratt's real parents?

[Eva Elisabeth]

...especially the later statements of Father Wiggan...

I either forgot or don't know at all - what were these statements? (Maybe someone else knows, too...?)

My heart and mind will not accept that a devout believer would blaspheme literally at the door of his/her Maker.

Toia, does "blaspheme literally" refer to the statements you had in mind above, or to participation in assassination (as being a sin)? Would abduction have been acceptable from the religious (Catholic) point of view in your opinion?

Basically an excellent point, Toia, that a respective entry in Booth's diary would have relieved Mary and George A., but didn't Stanton hold it back for two years?
