Betty sent me music to go with her post above, and I uploaded to my server. It is an .mp3 file.

Thanks, Roger!

This is a drumbeat cadence - slow and steady which was played at Union executions and may have more or less also been played at the Arsenal on July 7, 1865 as Powell, Herold, Atzerodt and Mrs.Surratt "marched" or were carried to the scaffold....

Thanks to Laurie Verge for FINDING this audio file. It was a video file - but I made an audio file from it along with increasing the drumbeats to make use of the prescribed 10 drummers who were usually utilized in these "marches"....
