RE: Louis Weichmann
From Ewald's article in Traces of Indiana and Midwestern History, 1994, "in the early months of 1865, Booth and Surratt visited Weichmann several times after hours in his government office." I have read the testimony of five War Dept clerks in the trial of 1865, and none testified to that. I only came across one clerk, which I posted about already, who made a statement that once after hours Weichmann visited the office with Surratt. As far as I know, Gleason didn't testify at the trial and made no mention of Surratt and/or Booth visiting the office in his statement in The Evidence. Does anyone know of a statement or testimony to support Ewald's statement? (other than Surratt's claim that Weichmann allowed him access to his office after hours in the Rockville lecture).
"I desire to thank you, sir, for your testimony on behalf of my murdered father." "Who are you, sonny? " asked I. "My name is Tad Lincoln," was his answer. |
