RE: Did Mrs. Surratt Wear Shoes on the Gallows
What would have been the reasoning for taking off shoes or boots? If it was to prevent them from being thrown off in death throws, then I Mary Surratt had lace up gaiters, that would not have been an issue. Does anyone knoe if it was a custom to have the condemned go shoeless?
