Herold and Surratt

[BettyO]

It could have been, Jim. It's all speculation of course - but that Queen guy seems to have known Surratt as having "light hair."

Remember that Van der Poole claimed that he saw all of the boys at the Canterbury on the evening of April 14; including Surratt. He described them all. The Gardner sisters were playing at the Canterbury (rabid Southerners, ladies of questionable virtue as well as dance hall girls.) Mary Gardner's card with her hotel room number was later found in Powell's discarded coat pocket. She was arrested (never called for testimony) and later released. So it's a good bet that the gang was probably more or less at the Canterbury at some time.

Just my thoughts....
