RE: Your personal choice of "most tragic" character in the assassination story
Apparently the Good Reverend Paine (formerly Mr. Wood) felt that the residents didn't know who he was or apparently, since he was asking for John Surratt Jr., felt that the household would know that he was working with John and therefore not be concerned. I think that Powell did not consider snoopy Mr. Weichmann into the bargain. Powell may have even forgotten the name he used on his first one night visit a month earlier in February of 1865.

Just my take!

What are ya'll's?
