Booth and one of the other conspirators had a connection, at least in name, to a soldier from New Hampshire. What is the name of this soldier?

[RJNorton]

Does it have anything to do with North Exeter Street in Baltimore?

[Steve]

No, think further south, south of Washington.

Could that be a hint as to who the other conspirator might be?

Once you said "catsup," I thought of Heinz, but I have no idea if that is correct or how it fits into the question. I'll keep guessing.
