Susan and John - Art Loux has Booth in Washington on March 8th. No mention of Montreal. I do not know if Art did not believe Gordon's account or simply never knew of it. Besides Gordon, is there other evidence Booth was in Montreal on March 8th?

March 8 is the day Gordon checked into the St. Lawrence Hotel. Gordon doesn't give the specific date(s) that he and Booth met in Montreal, but only indicates that it was not long before the assassination. Alford surmises that Booth made a quick trip to Montreal before he went to Newport and Boston.
