Mask For Treason

[Gene C]

Ouch, I suppose I deserve some of that.
In reading Mask of Treason, I do not interpret Shelton's writing as presenting a set of theories. To examine all sides of the theory is not the intent or purpose of his book.

Booth becomes ill after drinking to much alcohol. That is a common reaction.
Now if you really want to kill Booth after the assassination and your traveling with him down a lonely country road at night, is it easier and more efficient to poison him or just shoot him?
That's IF you want to kill him, and the evidence to support that idea is pretty thin too. So now we have to examine that scenario too. And it goes on and on and on.

So what is the point in initiating this discussion and even going down that road, making all these points in favor of this non traditional theory, and then claim you don't believe it?
I should know the answer to that, but I'm just an ignorant country boy.
