Art Loux's book is confusing on this (regarding what city Booth departed for on April 1). On p. 192 it says, "On April 1 Booth took the afternoon train for New York." But on p. 206 it says, "Booth left Washington for Baltimore on the afternoon train."

Talking to Atzerodt is like talking to the "Town Crier". Your plans are all over town in an hour. (Was that what Booth's wanted?)
Booth had to go to Baltimore first (to visit relatives) and continue on to New York and Canada. The stop in Boston is my "unkown".
Did the people in Canada come to him?. Did he give up his mission?
or was he running so late that he gave up seeking reinstatement to the position as "number one assassin". ( There is a "cover story " available about his visit in Boston, to his Pharmacist Buddy.) That' Baloney! (Will we ever know it all?)
