She indicates this incident was nit picked to death at the trail, and she repeated what was suppose to be some of the witnesses testimony regarding it. The delivery of those field glasses and the message to have things ready that night were crucial to Mary Surratt's fate. That's what probably made the difference between imprisonment and execution. Her doing Booth's bidding just hours before the assassination (if Lloyd is to be believed - I think he spoke the truth) sent her to the gallows. Naturally, supporters of Mrs. Surratt would dispute and try to disprove that incident. |
