That Atzerodt did previously visit Lew Powell at the Herndon House is obvious, as he stated that he went to Powell's room and saw him "clean his teeth and oil and comb his hair". Atzerodt stated that he saw a bottle of hair oil on the boy's wash stand. Atzerodt further stated that Powell AKA "Mosby" or "Wood" was a "good looking young man." Powell was obviously concerned with his appearance. They apparently were going out somewhere and Atzerodt came to meet Powell. Perhaps another visit to the Canterbury? Who knows....

I simply think that they met elsewhere on the evening of the 14th of April.
