MHT05 - Mystery History Theater; The Hit on Abe series

This episode was originally posted by Vyzygoth on his Alembic Files site in February 2015.

Lafayette Baker’s accusation that Secretary of War Stanton led the conspiracy to whack Lincoln. Those in deep with Stanton numbered politicians, army and naval officers, prominent bankers, newspaper reporters and assorted civilians.

Baker rightfully fears his own assassination. A nineteenth-century hitman facilitates the faked death and release of a convicted conspirator jailed in Fort Jefferson on the Dry Tortugas. He is also present at three suspicious deaths—one of which is Baker’s. He loses the trail of the released conspirator, who assists Booth’s wife in getting to San Francisco with a cache of gold and silver for a rendezvous with a man named John Byron Wilkes and a watery passage to India.

MHT04 - Mystery History Theater; The Hit on Abe series

This episode was originally posted by Vyzygoth on his Alembic Files site in January 2015.

What’s being scrutinized in this audio is an article--"Did Stanton Plan Lincoln's Murder?"--that appeared in Civil War Times, the August 1961 issue, Vol. 3 No. 5, in which then-editor Robert H. Fowler relates the findings of Ray Neff, one of the co-authors of “Dark Union,” with regard to Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton’s possible involvement in the murder of Abraham Lincoln.

Neff relies heavily on National Detective Police head Lafayette C. Baker’s revelations written in cipher as to the personages behind the assassination. Baker thought himself a target of the henchmen (the clean-up crew) most likely serving at the behest of high-placed Northern power brokers.

Unfortunately, Baker was correct, as his demise added to the curious body count of those with inside knowledge of the circumstances and principals in and around the killing of the President.

Sound familiar?
