My personal feelings are that one is treading on very slippery grounds to try and espouse such thoughts about any of the conspirators or Weichmann or to make it a factor in the assassination story.

Laurie:

You will be pleased to know that I agree with you completely. I merely repeated Kauffman's assertion. I have no independent confirmation and I do not plan to look for any, because I really don't care what Weichmann's or anyone else's sexual orientation was. As for Weichmann and Surratt sleeping together, it is a well known fact that it was very common in centuries preceding the 20th for people of the same sex to share beds inasmuch as bedding was frequently in short supply.
