Booth's visit to the Surratt Boarding House after the assassination

[L Verge]

I'm trying to find an answer to that one also, Gene, but only in the vein that Booth could have headed north and then west into the foothills of Virginia.

Wes - I have never doubted that Booth had those pistols on hand as early as his preparations for the kidnapping. My thoughts concerning them being left at Dr. Mudd's are two-fold: Atzerodt's statement that supplies were sent to the doctor two weeks before the kidnapping, and my thoughts on Davey Herold's activities one or two days before the assassination.
