(To me this simply didn't match Booth's personality.)

Eva:

I will be interested in your views re Chapter 12 of the book (Kidnapping). I had twice as much material on the subject, all of it in my opinion good, but publishers told me to reduce it by half, so I did. I am as convinced that Booth never really intended to kidnap anyone as I am about anything else in the history of the events of April 14. Just as he used the "oil business" to conceal his and his co-conspirators' sources of funds, he used kidnapping to conceal his true purpose of multiple assassinations, thereby facilitating his recruitment of co-conspirators, almost certainly instructed to do so by the Confederate Secret Service.
