Was Stanton a murder target?

[Gene C]

Thanks Roger.
I did a quick Google search on Watson and found some references to him by Ed Steers in Blood on The Moon, Mr. Steers references Come Retribution.
Wild Bill mentions him in his book Historical Dictionary of the Civil War. Brendon Eagon Jr. mentions Mr. Watson in his book, Murder At Ford's Theater.
The sections of those three books that mention Roderick Watson you can read on line. Again, I found the links on the first two pages of a Google search for " Roderick D Watson ".

What his actual involvement was, or may have been, is not quite clear to me.
But that's the way it frequently is with clandestine activities
