RE: Conspirator Execution
I've had a visitor to SH try and tell me that the mystery figure in the upstairs window of the execution photo was Emma Herold, one of the younger sisters. I have also been told that it was Anna Surratt, but neither suggestion has any validity. While I have been away from my Davey research for awhile I did come across a source that described two of Davey's sisters (throughout the trial whenever they are mentioned in the newspapers they're always in pairs and never named!) went to see Johnson on July 7th just like Anna did but were also turned away. I just have a gut feeling that they would not come, but nothing to back that up.
Speaking of which, do we know who the person is in the window at the execution? “Within this enclosed area a structure to be inhabited by neither the living or the dead was fast approaching completion.” ~New York World 7/8/1865 |
