Lincoln on a life or death interview plot in Baltimore
A New York report recounts a Thursday night attempt to abduct or assassinate President Lincoln on a return journey from Harrisburg. Lincoln, wearing a shawl and long cloak to stay concealed, traveled by special train with Lt. Col. Sumner and others, while conspirators plotted to derail or ambush the ascent near Baltimore. The plan aimed to provoke a violent confrontation and quash Lincoln’s presence in the city, but was thwarted by swift protective measures and secrecy.
