I would love to here from SSlater and hear his opinion.

What a coincidence. I have been up to my ears in the research of all the ideas that contributed to the Assassination. I have concentrated on that trial (in Washington), that was labeled "Testimony before the Judicial Committee related to the Complicity of Jefferson Davis, C. C. Clay, and others, with the assassination of Abram Lincoln."
277 legal size pages - 1200 questions and answers. That is the trial where all the witnesses testified under false names, and thenLIED. The Record copy (from the U.S. Archives) is all "hand written" and in some cases UNREADABLE, so I typed that "bugger" and finished just this week. That means - I read every word of that trial.
I have concluded, from this research, that Davis did not approve the shooting of Lincoln.
After Booth messed up the Capture of Lincoln, Davis approved the "Blowing up of the White House". That was handled in Richmond.
(There also the story from the guy in Florida that said he carried orders to Booth that ORDERED him not to shoot Lincoln.
After Harney was captured, Booth concluded on his own,that Richmond wanted Lincoln dead, and he would do it - quickly.
Thus, Booth shoot Lincoln completely on his own volition.
