Clinton

Historians are not sure why, but they speculate that he did it because he held strongly pro-Confederate views.

Upon his resignation, he moved to Maryland and in 1864 to the small village of Surrattsville, where he befriended Mary Surratt.

Surratt owned a tavern, an inn, a carriage house, a corn crib, a forge, a granary, a gristmill, a stable, a tobacco curing house, and a wheelwright's shop in the very center of the village.

as well as 200 acres of farmland nearby.

Surratt told Lloyd that she was considering moving into Washington and opening a boarding house and asked if he was interested in leasing all of the things that she held in Surrattsville.

They executed a contract on December 1st, 1864, and Surratt moved into Washington that very same day.

The boarding house in Washington, located at 604 H Street Northwest in what is now Chinatown, soon became a meeting place for John Surratt, Mary Surratt, lewis powell george atzerod davy harold and john wilkes booth as they plotted the assassination of abraham lincoln as part of the conspiracy in march 1865 john sarat atzerod and davy harold hid two rifles ammunition and supplies in the sarat tavern in saratsville On April 11th, Mary Surratt rented a carriage and drove to the tavern to collect, she later said, a debt owed to her by a former neighbor.

He repeated this lie in an interview with Washington police.

The PG County Police Department's Homicide Unit has taken over the ongoing investigation.

authorities did not release the man's identity or a cause of death they've not said the death was a homicide And a man was found fatally shot inside a home in Clinton, Maryland, early Sunday morning, according to PG County Police.

They responded to the 10700 block of Piscataway Road around 1.20 a.m. for a reported shooting.

They found the man inside the home suffering from a gunshot wound.

But that sadly wasn't in the cards for him, because on January 11th 2025, Alphonso committed a horrible crime.

See, on that day, which was a Saturday, one of Alphonso's nephews was at his home in Clinton, Maryland, in his nephew's home.

For context, he lived about seven hours away from Alphonso, give or take, so he wasn't close geographically or emotionally.

In fact, it sounds like this nephew didn't get along with Alphonso for reasons I'll get into later.
