RE: Why was Mary Surratt not photographed after her arrest?
Barry,

I've always wondered about the sketches. Sketch artists for the papers were not allowed - but what of General Lew Wallace? His sketches of Lew Powell, Davey Herold, Spangler, Arnold, O'Laughlin, Atzerodt, Mudd, et. al. were certainly not barred or confiscated in any way - unless Wallace managed to shuffle them under papers in front of him and thus avoid Hartranft's searching eye!

Thanks for a real "eye opener!"
