RE: Correction with apologies
Laurie,
Actually, the National Detective Police was a misnomer. In reality, L. C. Baker was hired by Secretary of War Stanton to be his private detective. He was paid $200 a month for wages. In addition, many history books imply that L. C. Baker was onsite at the Garrett farm. He wasn't! He was in New York City. Stanton sent a telegram to him asking his assistance in finding Booth. L. C. Baker replied back by telegram advising to use his cousin Luther and a military regiment to get Booth. Rick Brown HistoryBuff.com A Nonprofit Organization |
