Assassination Trivia

[Dave Taylor]

Thanks for the rest of the story, Bill. I didn't see any reference to him in the Evidence book and the newspaper articles about his imprisonment in Washington only made mention of his treasonous activities. I have a handwritten copy of Old Capitol records made by James O. Hall and he didn't include Lamarr so I assumed he didn't take his arrest to be connected to the assassination.

Coincidentally, my original guess of Zebulon Vance was partly connected to the assassination through a similar story as Lamarr. Vance hired George Sanders to run the blockade to export cotton from North Carolina. Vance's connection to Sanders and the group of Confederates in Montreal put him under suspicion of connection to Lincoln's death.
