Something I've Wondered About....

[BettyO]

As we approach the 149th anniversary of the hanging, I have been thinking that of all (or at least) most of the guards who actually guarded the death cells of the Conspirators on the evening and morning of July 6-7, almost nothing has been written or recorded. According to Hartranft, at least two guards were positioned outside the various death cells - yet we have apparently never read/heard anything from these fellows as to the goings-on within the chambers themselves on that fateful day. I've always wondered about this - perhaps these documentations are yet to be found? Thanks to John E and Barry C, we DO know the names of the guards who escorted the condemned to the scaffold.

I did find this online - and have never heard of this either:

Anyone else ever heard of any recollections from the death cell guards themselves?
Just curious.....
