Assassination Trivia

[RJNorton]

Ed's article does not say anything beyond "intended to ship to New York." Thus, I cannot find anything specific on this in the article. However, the article mentions that the men involved thought the whole operation was a success because there was a yellow fever outbreak in New Bern (under Union control). Over 2,000 people died, and in their minds, the "infected" clothing in the trunks had caused it.
