Topic: Francis Conwell

Paul Serup addresses the theory that bankers killed Lincoln, stating his research points instead to a Catholic conspiracy involving John Wilkes Booth. He cites Secretary of War Edwin Stanton's belief in a Catholic plot as significant evidence. The discussion highlights the account of Reverend Francis Conwell, who allegedly heard news of Lincoln's death in a remote Minnesota Catholic village hours before the event occurred.

The host draws a parallel between the early reporting of Lincoln's assassination in St. Joseph, Minnesota, and modern conspiracy theories regarding September 11, 2001. He references the BBC reporting the collapse of Building 7 while it was still visible in the background. Paul Serup provides details on the affidavits collected by Chiniquy from witnesses in Minnesota who claimed to hear the news before telegraphs could have delivered it.
