Booth's Denial of Foreknowledge of the Attack on Seward

[L Verge]

Thank you all for your attempts to enlighten Mr. G. I doubt that your efforts will be successful, but perhaps others can learn from your knowledge.

Am I not also correct that, in the event of the loss of Lincoln, Johnson, and Seward, there would be no one to call for the special election of a President? Wasn't that a duty of the Secretary of State?
