Note 2 — Chapter V · UNRAVELLING THE PLOT.—PURSUIT AND CAPTURE OF BOOTH AND HEROLD.—DEATH OF BOOTH.

The evidence before the Commission left Booth and Herold, from the time they left Dr. Mudd's until they arrived at Port Conway, unaccounted for. I am indebted to articles in the Century Magazine, by George A. Townsend, Major Ruggles, and Lieutenant Bainbridge, for the ability to fill up this interval, and to General Baker's "History of the Secret Service," for facts connected with the capture, death, and burial of Booth.—Author.
