Mug Shot Photos Put To Use: Observation / Theory

[BettyO]

Absolutely facinating, John! I never thought about Davey's questioning....

You just know that he was shown photos of Lew Powell....and of course, like Mrs. Surratt, he would definitely deny knowing "Mosby" aka Powell....

Mrs. Surratt was also shown photos and upon seeing JWB's photo, it was said that she responded, "That's Mr. Booth ain't it?" Or something similar to the effect....

Too bad that there is no recollection of Powell identifying anyone much less a confession (which he supposedly gave, but Eckert "forgot" to put down....)
