Why oh why didn't Weichmann claim that Booth was the 9:00 PM visitor when he spent hours giving his story to the Metropolitan Police or during his testimony at the conspiracy trial? Slipped his mind?

It's my opinion, and it's only an opinion, that Weichmann hedged on the statements he made early on regarding Mrs. Surratt because he liked her, and didn't want to believe she could be involved in Lincoln's kidnapping attempts or assassination. Much of his testimony was verified by other sources.

Anna's statement were probably more incriminating and damaging to Mary than anything Weichmann said.
