Guy Moore discusses this testimony in his excellent book The Case of Mrs. Surratt:

I don't doubt Scott was a visitor that night, but Weichmann said it was Anna herself who said Booth also visited.

In The Evidence the quote is as follows:

"Think of that man Booth having called at this house not more than an hour and a half before the assassination."
