Whose, Baxley's? None direct that I know of, except that she had been imprisoned in the Old Capitol in January 1865 and was still there when Mary Surratt and the other ladies in her household were arrested.

Baxley was, however, in Canada in the fall of 1864 (her son, who was in Richmond following a prisoner exchange, attempted to get permission from the Confederate authorities to visit her there), which raises the interesting question of whom she might have met when she was there.
