RE: What Was The Role of David Herold
Quote:Paine couldn't even figure out how to get out of town. Powell wasn't dumb -- he knew enough to get to Seward's House to "case the place out" - and get back to Mrs. Surratt's boarding house on his own.... if he was confused because the gate to Bennings Bridge were closed - that's one thing. I feel that being thrown from his horse (with an apparent subsequent concussion) could be to blame for some confusion - but he wasn't stupid.... Whether or not he was headed to Baltimore also remains to be seen. Both his coat and horse were found in the northern section of DC, making it seem that was the direction in which he was headed.
