Booth escape route north

[JMadonna]

LOL! - Now you're just throwing spit-wads a battleship.

1. Doesn't change the fact that they had no idea of what Booth looked like. They could have searched all the cars at every stop and not known him. Remember, Atzerodt slipped by the roadblock looking for him and that was 1865.

2. As for your idea that a priest would not help a non-Catholic doesn't make sense to me. It's not like Booth would confess to one that he was the assassin. Don't ask, don't tell & have a seat with your nice Catholic friend John Surratt.

3. Agreed. Booth was not to be trusted in either case. Besides, who thought the U.S. would put a noose around her neck? It had no precedent in American history. Not even her son came back.

4. Agreed

5. Then why repeat the operation the next day? Could there be a question that they wouldn't pull the pickets on the weekend and Booth had to be sure? Could be.

6. Friends don't throw friends under the stage coach like Booth did Arnold.

7. Don't go too far into the past, you've got to be at work on Monday.

Enjoy your weekend!
