Benn Pitman initially made the decision, on his own, not to include Dr. Mudd in the Ring of Conspirators, "partly, perhaps mainly from consideration to his family." Later the publishers "half demand" that Dr. Mudd's likeness be included. Pitman wrote to Ewing, Mudd's attorney, and Dr. George Mudd for a photograph of Mudd to use but apparently never received one from them.
