Apparently Bingham told Edwin Stanton, and Stanton also felt it was too important to reveal. Both Stanton and Bingham took the secret to their graves (at least that's the story). Does anyone know if there is an actual record of John Bingham meeting privately with Mary Surratt when she was incarcerated?

Roger, I can't find any record that Bingham ever spoke to her while she was incarcerated. Wouldn't it be unusual for the prosecutor to see her? Wouldn't the prison keep records of all visitors?
