Of course, Booth was a public figure and people could have seen him going to boardinghouse. It could be as simple as some neighbor and not someone we would guess.

Steve,

I seem to recall the detectives were to look into the "shenanigans" at the Surratt house, and when they got there they were looking for John H. Surratt. Why John Surratt, who wasn't even in the city, and was less involved with the assassination plot than others?

That's an awfully big rabbit hole, I'm not falling for the challenge, probably. Still, I'm the moron that threw James A. McDevitt's name in the arena for no good reason. Redemption, or more failure? That is the question.
