Edman (Ned) Spangler: Anyone Still Think He Was Guilty?

Spangler said he had a drink with Booth, Burroughs, and Maddox prior to the play's start. Thomas Gourlay's account was written four decades later and is relaying what his brother Robert told him, not something he saw personally. My guess is the 'when' Booth and Spangler were seen drinking together got mixed up in the retelling.
