Conspiracy Trial Press Reporters
Several years back, I, along with Barry Cauchon and John Elliott, uncovered the names of the Press reporters (and yes, there WAS an "AP" in 1865) who covered the Conspiracy Trial. I've been digging around a bit with the Wirz Trial and execution today and took a really good look at the press reporters photographed by Alexander Gardner on the morning of the hanging, November 10, 1865 at the Old Captiol Annex. I found out that there is a "Key" as to the identities of these guys and I bet dimes to donuts that most of this press gang also covered the Conspiracy Trial and Execution as well.
I am currently waiting for the LOC to forward me the "Key" so we can have a look-see at these fellows and determine who is who! BTW - I don't see GATH amongst this crew.... "The Past is a foreign country...they do things differently there" - L. P. Hartley |
