Atzerodt Confession

John, the copy I am looking at says ..."and I saw Booth, Wood or Payne in Wood's room."

I am seeing the word "or" not "and."

I think Atzerodt used several names for the same man - Lewis Powell. When he says "Wood or Payne" in the July 6 confession he is talking about the same person (Powell), not two separate people, IMO.

IMO, he is referring to Powell's room at the Herndon House when he calls it Wood's room.
