Decapitation of the Union

[L Verge]

Since Weichmann did not meet Booth until December 23, 1864, how would he know so much about Booth's "activities" four months earlier? Did he and JWB become good enough friends that Booth spilled the beans to him about his ongoing intentions? I don't think so...

Dare I say that Mr. Weichmann was just regurgitating stories that were circulating after the assassination. Where are the "certifications" that Miss McHenry and other citizens of Meadville supposedly signed? Do they still exist? Did they ever exist? Was it good publicity for the McHenry House?

I have never studied this windowpane issue because I thought it was just another hoax. When Dr. Chamlee gave his explanation, it seemed much more genuine and realistic. Coupled with Art Loux's impeccable research, I think we can take Booth's name off the list of suspects on this issue.
