RE: An interesting trip to Surrattsville
I think Spangler's comment to Booth about holding the horse conveys that Spangler had no idea that Booth was coming and did not know for what purpose the horse was being held. Spangler knew his job in the theatre required his constant attention and presence; thus he recruited Peanuts for the task. Spangler as a lower echelon "friend" of Booth wanted to please him and thus agreed to do what he could. Spangler did inadvertantly become an accessory after the fact but should not have been convicted.
