Mary Surratt and John Lloyd

[KLarson]

I think she would have been found guilty, though hanged I am not so sure. If Lloyd had died that night, then how would the detectives have found the gun in the wall and where it even came from. Would that gun have stayed in its place undiscovered if it were not for Lloyd's confession? As Betty reminds us, Mary did provide the nest, and Weichmann and other residents of the house did place her in Booth's private company, etc., etc. Weichmann, as far as we know, did not know about the guns in the wall, other than he heard Mary tell Lloyd to have the shooting irons ready. I suspect that other folks might have gotten in more trouble than they did - would the govt have gone after Smoot, for instance, and others?

So, I think Mary would have been found guilty - maybe on par with Mudd. But I doubt she would have hanged. Lloyd's testimony, in conjunction with Weichmann's, hanged her.
