RE: Mary Surratt and John Lloyd
I agree with guilty, but not hanged. The hanging sentence applied to only those who remained close to Booth and did his bidding up to the end. The other conspirators who got prison sentences were ones who had no contact between mid-March and April 14.

However, just like the one vote that spared Dr. Mudd from hanging, I think Mary's sentence would have been a tight one. Weichmann testifying that Booth had been to the boardinghouse that afternoon and that a package had been delivered to the tavern for him would still have been very damning.
