RE: Countdown to July 7
Once again I am reading an article that says Lewis Powell said (some sources say shouted) "Mrs. Surratt is innocent. She doesn't deserve to die with the rest of us" on the scaffold. I have seen this quote in many books and articles, but the only source I can find is in Amy Gillett Bassett's Red Cross Reveries: On the Home Front and Overseas. She is simply reporting what her father, Dr. Gillette, says he heard on the scaffold. Has anyone ever seen an account where someone else on the scaffold actually heard Powell says this about Mary Surratt?
