RE: "What If John Wilkes Booth Went To Trial?"
If we take ol' George at his word that he was agreeable to the kidnapping plot but never the killing plot, why did he check into the Kirkwood House as Booth ordered? It was upscale, and George was used to staying at the more modest Pennsylvania House. If George was only interested in the kidnapping plan why would he agree to get a room at the Kirkwood House? Can we consider the simple fact of checking into the Kirkwood House as evidence he did at one point consider killing Johnson?
