Regarding Booth's ties to the Confederate Secret Service,it is an interesting subject and there does appear to be much more to this then is generally known.I collect old checks and one of the hobbies publications had an article on this.To my astonishment there were displayed pictures of surviving checks from the CS agents in Canada to Booth for several thousand dollars.Believe the dates were late 1864.

We all recollect the old Watergate Incident and Deep Throats words.."Follow the Money"
