RE: Could John Have Spared Mary
Here is an entry from July 8th:

"July 8, 1865.—They have hung my mother. Curse them! in every way curse them. She was no party to the mad freaks of Booth! She has been murdered by Johnson, but I will be even with them yet. After my sister pleading as she did for her mother's life, and yet they have hung her. Payne and Harold; well they were in the plot; but then that cowardly fellow, Atzerodt, Johnson ought to have pardoned him, if even only because he was too cowardly to attempt to kill him. But they are all hung, and the rest have been sent to the Dry Tortugas. But, my mother! Curse them! curse them all!"

Laurie, the next time the gentleman comes in ask him how John knew the group had been sent to the Dry Tortugas as early as July 8th.
