Conspiracy in Canada

[John Stanton]

Here are some details of Kane's travels. He went to Canada upon his release fom Jail in 1862. He remained there planning "dirty tricks" until Feb 1864, when he ran the blockade to Richmomd. There he remained active on Lee's staff, but not available for field duty due to illness he contracted in prison. By 1877 he was back in Baltimore as MAYOR. Thus, if he was at the meeting in Boston, he came from Richmond. Based on that, and his failing health, I' d say he was not in Boston. If Martin met with Maryland Planter in mid-summer and went to Boston by July, for the meeting - I'd say he came from Baltimore.
