John Surratt in Canandaigua,NY

[RJNorton]

Herb, I know that the hotel register from the Brainard House in Elmira went missing. I have always wondered about that. How about the hotel register at the Webster House? Herb, do you know if that went missing? Or does it exist to prove Surratt was really in Canandaigua as he said? Also, I wonder why he would risk attending Easter Sunday Mass when he was a wanted man. I think if it were me I would have stayed in the room as much as possible until I could get out of Canandaigua and travel to Canada.

Herb, like you, I tend to believe Surratt's story. I used to want to place him in Washington, but I no longer think he was there.
