I am just curious about this, Gene. Does the book mention John Lloyd's testimony?

On April 11, 1865, according to Lloyd, Mary told him the "shooting irons" would be needed soon. Three days later, on the day of the assassination, Mary made another trip to Surrattsville. This time, according to Lloyd, she delivered Booth's field glasses and reminded him to ready the weapons hidden at the tavern he leased from her. Lloyd testified Mary "told me to have those shooting-irons ready that night, there would be some parties who would call for them."
