RE: Aiken
Christine - Andrew Potter supposedly worked for L Baker and was active in the pursuit of Booth. His writings and notes - the Potter Papers - formed part of the basis for the "The Lincoln Conspiracy", a movie in the late 70's. (John Wiles Booth escapes)

Ray Neff (a chemist turned histoiran who just recently passed away) was a stong believer in Andrew Potter and has a large collection of documents and photos at the Indiana State University Library (some of it is on-line). There is no credible evidence that anyone named Andrew Potter ever worked for Baker. Neff's documents consist of type written trancripts. He claimed the original documents were severly damaged when stored in a barn. There they were damaged by mice and pigeion droppings, and inclimate weather.

Ed Steers wrote a good article abouth these documents couple of years ago, but it is on my computer at work, or I would link to it now.

So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in?
