Why was Mary Surratt not photographed after her arrest?

[Jim Garrett]

Lew Wallace's uniform frock coat is on display at the NPS Monocacy Battlefield Museum. It has a velveteen collar and it's very hard to tell if it's the same uniform he is wearing in the photographs from the trial period.

Interestingly, the article doesn't mention Lew Wallace's affiliation with the greatest dectective duo in history, the Potter brother's. Many on this forum are well aware of the Potter documents that were stored in Wallace's carriage house back in Crawfordsville, Ind. Unfortunateley those valuable documents were covered in heaping layers of pigeon dung and unable to be used to the fullest advantage. We, as researchers are so fortunate that Dr. Ray Neff was able to make copies of transcriptions of transcriptions made by a friend of Lew Wallace's great grand niece......twice removed.
