RE: Lewis Powell's skull and Joseph Gawler
I agree with both Paige and Betty. I do not understand the logic of denying a grieving family the right to claim the remains of an executed family member.

This one has the mark of Stanton and Andrew Johnson on it. Perhaps they were concerned that the final resting place(s) of the various Lincoln conspirators not become places of pilgrimage for Confederate sympathizers?
