Alfred Gibson also claimed:

1. He told Gen. Grant to put out his cigar at the trial
2. Annie Surratt watched the execution from his room until she fainted
3. Pitched quoits with the conspirators
4. Wrote daily notes for Hartranft on the conspirators' well being.
5. Stood front and center at the execution
6. Wrote the names of the condemned on paper and then slipped them in to the vials that accompanied the dead.
7. Was given a cuff link by Michael O'Laughlen

I'm not convinced he did any of these things.
