Bill, what a wonderful presentation by Laurie 10 years ago. I keep rereading it to see what I missed. To wit, in the middle of page 8 Laurie makes reference to compiling all the conspirator's statements into a single book. She says she started to do just that with information from James O. Hall. Do you know if that compilation was ever completed and, if so, is it available. Hope you know of this.

Dennis, I can tell you it was indeed completed as I bought a copy many, many years ago. It's entitled "From the War Department Files: Statements Made by the Alleged Lincoln Conspirators Under Examination 1865." I do not know if it's still available from the museum. (At least I think this is the booklet you are referencing.)
