Hanchett sources it to footnote 9 at page 250:

9. John Russell Young, Men and memories, ed. May D. Russell Young, (New York: F. Tennyson Neely, 1901), 56; Constance McLaughlin Green, Washington, Village and capital, 1800-1878 (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1962), 21.

In the words of the immortal Wlat, that's not quoting Powell/Paine or Herold or Booth. That is not even quoting somebody who purports to have heard Powell/Paine or Herold or Booth. I thought you said this was well-documented?

You can help Walt on his desperation mission impossible.

[Non-Sequitur]

Now why doesn't it surprise me that you would have Hanchett's book? Is there a Lincoln conspiracy book that you don't have?
