Powell's Hair being "Filed?" What's THAT about?!

[Laurie Verge]

Mr. Hall said the same thing. When you read the statement given to the authorities shortly after he was returned to D.C. (after days on the run, little rest and relaxation, and harsh interrogation), Davey was very careful in what he said, skirted giving Dr. Mudd's name when asked about where Booth's leg was set, etc.

It has been my contention for almost fifty years that each one of the conspirators was chosen for a particular skill - but also because they were "rag-tag" enough not to attract anyone's attention or let people think that they were actually smart enough to pull off a kidnapping. Also, if you check out their roots, they all came from respectable families. (Yes, even the Atzerodts)
