Lew Powell's Frostbitten Feet

[Gene C]

Considering the prison diet, the mental stress he was under, it is not surprising that he had some kind of physical problems. (It looks like BettyO and I posted at the same time. Great minds think alike.)

In Sam Arnolds book "Memoirs of a Lincoln Conspirator", he indicated during his imprisonment during the trial, that a guard offered to help so he could eat his food (fed him) due to the lilly irons on his hands and the small hood opening for his mouth.
