I'm afraid that the verdict is still out on that matter of history.

Not really. But I'm curious, how did Mayor Brown learn of the 'plot'? I wonder who told him? Was it Lamon? I believe that according to his account only he and Lincoln were privy to the plan. Are you suggesting that Lamon told Brown, an ardent foe of the administration?

If not, then demonstrate how the matter has been settled. The burden is yours

Word travels quickly. The fact remains that he knew of a plot to arrest Taney though and went to Taney's court to warn him.

I believe that according to his account only he and Lincoln were privy to the plan.

I believe you are incorrect and others were in the room.

I don't know who told Brown because Brown didn't say. I do know that Brown knew of the plot though because he said so in written detail.
