Here is what Joseph Dye stated during the John Surratt trial:

Q. Did you say that the person said three times that it was ten minutes past ten o'clock ?
A. I said he called the time three times, and this time it was ten minutes past ten o'clock.
Q. And the other periods of time were before ?
A. Yes sir.
By a Juror :
Q. He did not state each time that it was ten minutes past ten ?
A. No, sir. There were eight or nine, or ten minutes between them. The last time I do not think there were more than five.
By Mr. Pierrepont :
Q. Did you see that man distinctly?
A. I did.
Q. Very distinctly ?
A. I did very distinctly.
Q. Do you see him now ?
A. I do.
Q. Can you tell us where he is ?
A. I can.
Q. Tell us where he is.
A. He sits there, (pointing to the prisoner.)
Q. Is that the man ?
A. It is. I have seen his face often since, while I have been sleeping—it was so exceedingly pale. He hurried up towards H street again, and that is the last I have seen of him until lately.
Q. You say he was the prisoner at the bar ?
A. Yes, sir, and I say that I have seen him since, while I have been sleeping.
Q. Did it make a very strong impression from what occurred at the time ?
A. It did, sir.
Q. What did Booth do then ?
A. He walked directly into the theatre.

In Michael Shein's book it says that it was Lewis Carland, a costumer and actor, who called out the time at the request of C.B. Hess.

I would like to see a photo of Lewis Carland to see if Joseph Dye could have confused John Surratt with Lewis Carland.

Can anyone post a photo of Lewis Carland?
