Eva, I think that request to Weichmann, and then not saying what her intentions were, is significant. I put it right up there with her sitting in the dark when the police arrived after the assassination. She knew beforehand.

My theory is that the federal government had some knowledge of her high level of involvement, and that is why Mrs. Surratt wasn't given a lesser sentence or a reprieve from the gallows. Just a theory, of course.
