What Was The Role of David Herold

[Laurie Verge]

I'm glad we agree on the Mudd issue. Now I just have to change your mind on the activities of Herold!

As for Frankie Mudd, I remember years ago being told by Mike Kauffman that letters that Mudd wrote to his wife almost place the blame on her for him landing in prison. I don't think Sam was happy about Frankie conveniently finding Booth's discarded boot and presenting it to the authorities.

BTW: If anyone can find information on a Dr. Garland, please let us know. Hall, Tidwell, and Gaddy were searching for him, and the closest I could get was a Dr. Garland who left Maryland and went to Richmond to serve Jefferson Davis. I turned over all my notes to Mr. Hall, but I don't think he was ever able to make solid documentation -- and now I have no notes nor desire to retrace my steps.
