Was Stanton a murder target?

[loetar44]

In the morning of Thursday April 13, 1865 Booth takes the train to Baltimore, hoping to reenlist O’Laughlen. He returned before O’Laughlen to DC. We know O’Laughlen took the train of 3.30 pm, so Booth took the train back before 3.30 pm. We know from C. Dwight Hess that he had last seen Booth (in Grover’s) on Thursday April 13, early in the afternoon. If Booth travelled to Baltimore (2 hours travel time), returned to D.C. (again 2 hours travel time), spoke with O’Laughlen (maybe more than 1 hour), had breakfast and lunch, could he than have arranged a meeting with Hess early in the afternoon?

for April 13, 1865:

(1) "Booth goes to Baltimore to try to get Michael O’Laughlen back into the conspiracy. O’Laughlen refuses and Booth goes back to Washington. O’Laughlen follows him to try to talk him out of it."

and

(2) "That evening there is a massive “illumination” (firewords, gas fires, etc) in Washington. O’Laughlen wanders through it with friends who don’t know about the conspiracy (it’s unclear from Kauffman if he ever made contact with Booth)."
